Reasons To Go Frozen
Frozen is Always in Season
From farm to freezer in 24 hours. The Individual Quick Freezing (IQF) technology locks in flavour and nutrition. This means fruits and vegetables are picked at peak ripeness and frozen to preserve freshness, flavour, and nutrients. Discover the benefits and advantages of using frozen fruits and vegetables.
Tips and Tricks
Preservation: Keep frozen at 0°F or -18°C, or below. Take out desired amount and immediately return unused product to the freezer. Do not refreeze if thawed. Keep in refrigerator for up to 48 hours in a sealed container.
Preparation: Fruits may be thawed at room temperature or used frozen. Vegetables should always be cooked before consuming, and may be cooked from frozen.
Individual Quick Freezing (IQF) is an innovative technology that ensures consistent, high-quality products. The short freezing time prevents the formation of large ice crystals. As each piece is individually frozen, the product maintains its shape, colour, smell, and taste after thawing.
Availability
Frozen fruits and vegetables are always available, giving you access to a wide variety of produce picked and frozen in season.
Freshness
Picked in season and at the peak of freshness, locking in taste and nutrients. Frozen is actually fresher than fresh produce which is picked before ripe.
Convenience
Frozen ingredients are ready to use. They are cleaned and cut, saving you precious time. They are also available in different formats.
Savings
Frozen produce is often more economical than fresh because you are not paying for unused pieces (stems, leaves), damaged food, or the prep time required to process raw ingredients.
Shelf-life
With a shelf life of up to 24 months, you can use frozen ingredients at your convenience and rest assured you’re not wasting any product.
Portion Control
Limit food waste by using frozen ingredients. Use only what you need and save the rest for another time.
