Why is blanching suggested for food to be frozen? For example, I looked
up celery in a book on freezing stuff I have and it tells me to blasnch
the celery for three minutes before freezing. Cool off, then bag and
freeze. What does the blanching do? What would happen if I didn't bother
to? Anyone know?

TIA
