Freezer burn may also lower the nutritional value of the food you’re eating.

If the entire cut of meat has been freezer burned, don’t worry about cutting anything off. You can try to mask the taste with the steps below, or you can throw the entire piece out, since it may not taste great.

Try a beef stew or a chicken and sweet potato stew for a chilly fall evening.

Fish absorbs flavor from sauces very easily, which is why this hack works so well.

With smaller vegetables and fruits, it may be harder to tell. Try throwing away any of the vegetables that look the most freezer burned.

Or, dry fruit on a baking tray in the oven.

Throw your freezer burned berries into a berry smoothie. Or, try something a little healthier with a green smoothie. You can also stir fry vegetables or throw them into a soup or stew.

You can also vacuum seal your food.
