Frozen Vegetables Are Perfect For Several Reasons

August 30, 2018 by admin Leave a Comment

Vegetables are rich in essential vitamins and nutrients. Hence, doctors always recommend vegetables as part of your daily diet. The problem when you purchase fresh vegetables is that it will only take a few days before they start going bad. Frozen vegetables are a good alternative. Here are some more reasons why you should buy them.

Extend shelf life

Even if you can’t eat the vegetables immediately upon purchase, it is okay. Frozen vegetables last for up to 2 months, provided that they remain frozen at home. Another benefit is that you spend less time cooking since the bags already contain peeled and sliced vegetables. In some cases, you need to thaw them, but it will not take a lot of time.

You can guarantee cleanliness

If you buy from IQF Vegetable Suppliers UK, there is a guarantee that the vegetables have undergone a strict process. From the farm, only the best vegetables go through the next stage. The regular method of peeling and slicing follows. Once ready, the vegetables go into a container before freezing. The vegetables that hit the markets are fresh and have the nutrients you want in vegetables.

You can get more nutrients

There is nothing wrong with choosing fresh vegetables. However, if you think they are fresher compared to frozen vegetables, you are wrong. From the time of harvesting until the time that the vegetables are ready for selling, they have already lost a lot of water and nutrients. To extend the life of vegetables, farmers usually pick immature vegetables. The problem is that due to the early harvest, these vegetables have low nutritional value. They also contain toxins.

On the other hand, frozen vegetables are fresh. Farmers pick them when they are ready for harvesting. Due to the immediate freezing that follows, the vegetables remain in the best condition for an extended period.

You can buy frozen vegetables any time

There are vegetables that you can only buy at a particular time during the year. They are also called seasonal vegetables. If you are craving these vegetables, you don’t need to buy the fresh options. There are frozen vegetables available throughout the year. You can even keep them in your fridge if you can’t finish the entire bag in one go.

You can cook whatever dish you want

Just like fresh vegetables, you can also use frozen vegetables in any way you want. If you’re going to eat them right away, you can place them in a microwave, and you are good to go. You may also thaw the vegetables and cook them in any dish.

Perhaps, the only downside of frozen vegetables is the cost. However, since you can use them for a long time, you will still save more money. On the other hand, fresh vegetables only last for a few days. If you do not finish eating them, you have no choice but to throw them away. It is a waste of money.

Hi Friends!
I'm Fern and I have a love for travel, beauty, health and flowers! I went to school for nutrition, but wasn't really interested in being a nutritionist. So, I started to bartend and have since I graduated school a year ago.
I love talking to people, traveling and writing on my blog... and bartending allows me to do the things I love.

I can take off for a month to travel abroad and there will never be any shortage of bartending/serving jobs when I get home. I also love that I can work abroad bartending anywhere I want! So, I hope you enjoy my blog and if you have any questions, feel free to email me! :)
