Dry or freeze

[mikeh]

TommyZ was nice enough to mail me bunch of mulberry three leaves. Would it be better to dry them or freeze?

I'm not sure, but I think they'll turn to mush if you freeze them.

If you dry them you will be able to crumble them over their food longer
And I feel to freeze them I think they will
Turn to mush also

Blanching prior to freezing should help with the turning to mush part.

I find it just plain easier to dry them. Easier for me to use them, too. I have very limited freezer space, which is taken up with other frozen tortoise and turtle munchies.
