Frozen Food

What Are The Benefits Of Frozen Food?

Freezing is the most natural way of preserving food.*
Bacteria are unable to multiply when food is frozen.*
Food that is flash frozen to temperatures at -18°C or below has the effect of slowing the natural degradation process almost to zero.*
All nutrients and vitamins are locked in when frozen, eliminating the need for preservatives.*
Frozen at sea fish could not be any fresher. Fish bought from supermarkets and shops can sometimes take as much as a week to reach the counter.

Frozen food dramatically helps the environment because you need only use what you are going to eat.*
Sustainability is a key word used in this day and age. By using frozen food, we are helping to sustain the seafood industry.
We could be helping the environment more by using our cars less. Frozen food has a long shelf life, requiring fewer trips to the stores.*
Long shelf life reduces packaging, delivery and storage resources.*
The cost of running a freezer all year can be as little as £18.

Buying frozen fish means we can enjoy seasonal fish the whole year round!*
Keeping a large stock of frozen food to hand massively reduces the need for visits to the shops.

Less nutrients and vitamins are lost when fruit and vegetables are frozen or canned. **
Meat and poultry products lose fewer nutrients when frozen. The nutrient values remain much the same as before and after freezing.
Because of their convenience, frozen vegetables and fruit can encourage less snacking on junk food. **
Recent studies found that frozen or canned products hold their own when it comes to nutrient levels. **
