What Foods Can You Not Vacuum Seal?


 

Food like soft cheese, raw onions, and garlic cannot be vacuum seals.

While vacuum sealing your hard cheeses is pleasing and delicate, using the same preservation procedure on soft, watery, or crumbly cheeses is not good. Breathable conditions are necessary for molding cheeses such as Brie, goat, ricotta, and mozzarella. Make sure that the cheese is fresh, unpasteurized, kept in liquid or moist or sticky to the touch if you’re unsure about the quality of your purchase. Do not seal your cheese if it falls into any of these categories.

Raw vegetables from the Crucifer & Brassicaceae families, which produce gases, should not be vacuum-sealed like raw garlic and onions. Vegetables that fall into this category include cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower. Arugula and Brussels sprouts also fall into this category. You must first blanch and allow them to cool completely before vacuum sealing them.

As much as “wet” vacuum sealers exist, drying the veggies before inserting them into the bag is essential for optimal seal performance. When mushrooms are vacuum-sealed, they decompose more quickly. In addition, mushrooms have a ripening cycle similar to that of fruit; as a result, vacuum-sealed fresh mushrooms ripen quicker and perish faster. However, cooked mushrooms can be vacuum-sealed.
