Frozen vegetables & fruit
Frozen vegetables are vegetables that have had their temperature reduced and maintained to below their freezing point for the purpose of storage and transportation (often for far longer than their natural shelf life would permit) until they are ready to be eaten. They may be commercially packaged or frozen at home. A wide range of frozen vegetables are sold in supermarkets.
Rapid Freezing Method (IQF):
This method preserves the original properties such as taste, color, odor due to the lack of ice crystals’ formation in the product texture and causes the products to stay fresh, which can be stored at -18° C for up to 2 years. In this method, the raw material is first washed and disinfected using automatic devices (not manually) and is then directed to a special freezing tunnel in a fluid stream of cold air of -35° C and later it is completely frozen separately and thus the possibility of growth of microorganisms becomes impossible and the product is produced and ready to be offered with high durability.
Examples of frozen vegetables which can be found in supermarkets include spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, peas, sweetcorn, yam (in Asia) either packaged as a single ingredient or as mixtures. There are occasions when frozen vegetables are mixed with other food types, such as pasta or cheese. Frozen fruits are produced using a very similar approach.
Frozen vegetables have some advantages over fresh ones, in that they are available when the fresh counterpart is out-of-season, they have a very long shelf life when kept in a freezer and that they often have been processed a step or more closer to eating (usually washed and cut, sometimes also seasoned). In many cases, they may be more economical to purchase than their fresh counterparts or are packaged while ripe. The fruit used for frozen fruit is overripe. Some use the terminology “spoiled” or “seconds”.
Frozen vegetables can often be prepared with minimal effort, making them a quick and convenient alternative to fresh vegetables. They’re also typically cheaper than fresh vegetables and tend to have a longer shelf life, helping you get the most bang for your buck.
What’s more, they’re available year-round, meaning that you can enjoy your favorite veggies regardless of whether they’re in season. Adding frozen vegetables to your diet is a simple way to increase your intake of important nutrients, including fiber, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. Plus, studies show that increasing your intake of vegetables may be associated with a lower risk of conditions like heart disease, cancer, type 2 diabetes, and more.
