Good Food, Good Health - Good Nutrition from Healthy Frozen Food

 Fresh food prices have rocketed in stores as producers costs are soaring along with haulage company's fuel bills and are in turn passed on to us - the consumer.

I believe our motto 'good food for good health' should be a priority for everyone as a varied diet of nutritional food enables the body to keep and maintain good health and sense of well being, and even when trying to keep the weekly food shopping down, good frozen food can help to achieve this.

By eating good food helps keep the immune system in good shape to be able to fight the constant attack of viruses and illnesses we are all subjected to.

I have always said fresh food is best and contains the best nutritional values, but how fresh really is some of our 'fresh food', as foods are sourced from all over the world nowadays to keep availability all year round.

Frozen foods reputation has for a long time been held as inferior to fresh food, and classed along with canned food as second rate. This is today a largely undeserved labeling. Frozen Food Supplier Malaysia

The technology and method of freezing has come a long way since the seventies, when frozen food became popular and readily hit the shelves. 

Today, many foods are frozen within minutes of harvesting. Fish is a good example of this as within minutes of being caught on many boats they are cleaned and frozen immediately on board, with all transportation carried out in the frozen state.

As long as you defrost as per instructions and eaten before 'best by date' the fish will be as good as if plucked straight from the net.

The same can be said for many frozen fruit and vegetables, being frozen within one hour of harvesting.

When food is properly frozen, being cleaned and wrapped so that freezer burn is eliminated - freeze burn is when ice crystals come into contact with the food - the nutritional values are suspended and kept to a maximum.

Quick frozen food keeps its vitamins and nutrients virtually the same as the moment it was picked, when they are at the highest value. Frozen Food Company in Malaysia

By defrosting food properly and keeping cooking to a minimum by either steaming or stir frying, levels of vitamin C and other water soluble B vitamins can be higher than in fresh foods.

Some 'fresh' foods have been picked and stored months before they appear on the shelves labeled as fresh, but as to date there is no legal definition over use of the word 'fresh', so there is no way of telling how long it has been harvested.

Through lengthy storage of fruit and vegetables, time and heat sensitive vitamins along with water soluble ones can be lost and therefore could be less nutritional than similar frozen foods.

The monetary value in using frozen food is that there are no scraps of food left in the fridge deteriorating to an 'alien mass' unfit for human consumption. Soft shell crab supplier

Another great benefit is that the waste - the stringing of beans, cleaning of fish etc has all been done for us meaning we are only paying for the food we are actually eating saving precious time and money.
