If you want to freeze eggs, you must first crack the shell, then place them in a container and store them in the freezer.
◆ Vegetables with high humidity

Fresh vegetables turn into mushy, mushy forms. The color, taste and aroma also deteriorate. However, pickled or fermented vegetables can be stored in the freezer. Fresh tomatoes can also be stored frozen if you plan to cook them after thawing. However, if you plan to eat raw tomatoes after thawing them, you should avoid storing them in the freezer.
◆ Coffee
Freshly roasted, unopened coffee beans can be stored in the freezer for about a month. However, once opened, it should not be stored in the refrigerator. Coffee beans that have been thawed and frozen repeatedly retain moisture. And this humidity absorbs unpleasant odors from the freezer, deteriorating the taste and aroma of the coffee.
