How can I freeze A LOT of something without plastic or low plastic waste? My husband and I have a small homestead and have quite the large garden, we are currently harvesting 72 heads of broccoli that we need to blanch and freeze, so far we have (some of) them froze on a single layer but I can’t stand the thought of putting them all in cheap ziplock bags just to throw away the ziplock bags, I know I could try to keep the bags and wash and reuse them but I’d rather upgrade to a better quality item that’s meant to be reused and wash. Plus I don’t want to give money to a company that plans on you throwing away plastic. Any advice or help?

** this will be one of 6 or so crops we will need to blanch and freeze so I will need a lot of storage

I got diagnosed at 20, after a long miserably sick childhood, and have literally never received follow up care. I got diagnosed in my college town and then went home for winter break but I didn’t have a family doctor there, so just never got any long term care information other than be gluten free. I’m 26 now and recently moved and would like to take better care of myself and recently learned I’m supposed to be getting yearly blood test? Where do yall go for this? Family doctor? Allergist? What should I even ask for?

I live in rural Midwest, is this why even the doctors have no clue?
