Question about dehydrating tomatoes
 

I have been drying my tomatoes in the dehydrator and, when dry, putting them in ziplock bags and freezing them. It is just another way to save my fruit.

A few weeks ago, I noticed one of the ziplock bags still had air in it, so I opened the bag, let the air out, and put it back in the freezer.

The next day, the bag had blown up with air again. This has been going on for a week. Should I throw them out? Does this mean they are rotten somehow?

Thanks!

How odd! Has this ever happened when you have put bags of berries or beans in the freezer?

I'd suspect the bag before I suspect the fruit. I just can't imagine dehydrated food in the freezer could possibly support anything active enough to inflate a bag.

The constantly inflating bag made me nervous. I threw out the entire bag of maters. Those dried fruit HAD to be putting out some major gas of some sort - into the garbage they went. It never happened to me before.

Thanks for the replies.

Does your husband like tomatoes?

Why are you freezing dehydrated tomatoes?:?

Very weird them puffing the bag up.

I'm with you, Fred. That sounds like something my husband would do.
