PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a refrigerator capable of maintaining freezing quality the same as or higher than that of a fresh agricultural product blanched and frozen even when the fresh agricultural product such as a vegetable is frozen in a freezing compartment without a blanching treatment. SOLUTION: This refrigerator includes a freezing cooler, an auxiliary freezing compartment into which cold air generated in the freezing cooler is introduced and which is cooled and maintained at a prescribed temperature, a fan for blowing cold air to the auxiliary freezing compartment, and a temperature control device for controlling the temperature of the auxiliary freezing compartment. In the case of storing a fresh agricultural produce in the freezing compartment, the cooling speed in the freezing compartment is made mild on freezing the fresh agricultural product, and thereafter, the temperature is lowered to a prescribed temperature and the fresh agricultural produce is frozen and stored.
