yes, stored in fridge. frozen in small quantity so easy to use up fast. that's why i use the little glass jars that storebought spices come in. i am not an expert, but i think any fresh vegie stored w/o the high heat/pressure of processing can be a source of botulism. over the many years that i have been putting up garden produce i only got sick once. when i first got the bright idea to save some of my sweet corn many years ago i got really bad stomach issues. one of the docs in the ER i was working in laughed when i told him what i had eaten the night before & told me what i had done to myself ...i bought a pressure cooker after that.
