My freezer will have always frozen greens, i usually buy fresh Indian greens from Indian grocery whenever i'll go there. Back home,i'll clean them immediately and stock them in freezer for further use, unfortunately we dont get variety of greens here. Apart from drumstick leaves,methi leaves and amaranth leaves we dont have any choices of greens, obviously i have no option rather than freezing them. Its been a routine for me to freeze drumstick leaves,so that i can make many dishes using this greens whenever i feel like cooking with this healthy greens.
