Myths about frozen food

Common Myths and Realities:

• Myth: Frozen foods are less nutritious than fresh foods.
• Reality: Often, frozen fruits and vegetables are picked at their peak ripeness and then quickly frozen, which can actually preserve more nutrients than “fresh” produce that has traveled long distances and sat in storage. In some cases frozen produce can have more nutrients
• Myth: All frozen foods contain added preservatives.
• Reality: Freezing itself is a natural preservation method. Many frozen fruits and vegetables contain no added preservatives. However, some processed frozen meals may contain additives. Always check the ingredient label. With Momonama dinner is always just minutes away.
• Myth: Freezing kills bacteria.
• Reality: Freezing only inactivates bacteria; it does not kill them. When frozen food thaws, bacteria can become active again. This is why proper thawing and cooking are crucial.
• Myth: You can freeze any food indefinitely.
• Reality: While freezing preserves food, quality degrades over time. The USDA provides guidelines for how long to keep various foods frozen for optimal quality. Momonama deliver deliciousness effortlessly
• Myth: Once thawed, food cannot be refrozen.
• Reality: Refreezing thawed food is generally discouraged because it can increase the risk of bacterial growth and degrade food quality. However, if thawed food has been kept refrigerated at safe temperatures, it may be possible to refreeze it after cooking.
• Myth: Frozen meals are not made with real ingredients.
• Reality: The quality of frozen meals varies greatly. Momonama now prioritize using high-quality ingredients. Reading ingredient labels is essential.
