How can I prevent freezing chopped tomatoes from losing their flavor and texture?

To prevent freezing chopped tomatoes from losing their flavor and texture, blanch them in boiling water for a few seconds, then plunge them into ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain well, pat dry, and freeze in a single layer on a baking sheet before transferring to a freezer-safe container. This method helps preserve the tomatoes' taste and texture when frozen.
