In addition, the notion that these are lower quality products is quite widespread. However, you can find healthy products in the freezer boxes of your supermarket, and here are 5 reasons to consider frozen goods&nbsp;<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[1] [2] [7]<\/span>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>It can be as nutritious as it is fresh<\/strong>&nbsp;&#8211; the freezing process does not destroy all the nutrients in fruit or vegetables. The nutrient content can be reduced for both fresh and frozen products, while in some cases freezing will ensure <strong>a less substantial reduction.<\/strong> If the frozen product is stored for a long time, some nutrients may break down. This process can start for some nutrients when stored for <strong>more than 1 year.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>It has time to ripen<\/strong>&nbsp;&#8211; several<strong> fresh products<\/strong> are collected<strong> before ripening,<\/strong> because they often travel to our counters from a completely different part of the world. Most <strong>frozen products<\/strong> are processed <strong>immediately after harvest<\/strong>, so <strong>they have time to ripen<\/strong> and contain vitamins, minerals or antioxidants. However, this is not the rule, as fruits and vegetables can synthesize nutrients even after harvest.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>It&#8217;s an easier choice<\/strong>&nbsp;&#8211; do you have cravings for raspberries or blueberries, but don&#8217;t want to go to the store? Take a look in your freezer. Frozen vegetables and fruits are<strong> always at hand<\/strong> and you don&#8217;t have to bother looking for fresh variants.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>It does not contain additives<\/strong>&nbsp;&#8211; the best thing to do is always<strong> make sure to check the ingredients<\/strong>, but finding vegetables or fruits<strong> without additives<\/strong> is not such a problem. <strong>The freezing<\/strong> itself <strong>preserves<\/strong>, so you do not need other supplied preservatives.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Prevents the spread of microorganisms<\/strong>&nbsp;&#8211; pathogenic bacteria and other microorganisms can<strong> multiply on food<\/strong> and cause its<strong> toxicity.&nbsp;<\/strong>Food poisoning is a serious matter, so it is necessary to<strong> prevent the spread of pathogens<\/strong> that produce toxins. Keeping food in the freezer is better than a refrigerator in terms of safety. The common temperature in the freezer is<strong> -18 \u00b0 C<\/strong> and in the refrigerator <strong>4 \u00b0 C,<\/strong> and even in the refrigerator it is possible that some &#8220;bad&#8221; bacteria will spread. However, this does not mean that you should be afraid of food poisoning from food that you put in the refrigerator. <strong>The freezer<\/strong> is only<strong> a safer option,<\/strong> for a better overview we present the minimum temperature required for the spread of some microbes&nbsp;<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[2]<\/span>:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n    <link href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/wp-gymbeam-blog-theme\/css\/vue\/index.css\" rel=\"preload\" as=\"style\">\n    <link href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/wp-gymbeam-blog-theme\/js\/vue\/chunk-vendors.js\" rel=\"preload\" as=\"script\">\n    <link href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/wp-gymbeam-blog-theme\/js\/vue\/index.js\" rel=\"preload\" as=\"script\">\n    <link data-no-optimize=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/wp-gymbeam-blog-theme\/css\/vue\/index.css\" rel=\"stylesheet\">\n\n    <h2>\n        You might be interested in these products:    <\/h2>\n\n    <div data-app=\"recommended\" data-products=\"37300,44653,44761,45085,46162,50206,33514,29956,47731,48844,38920,39070,39064\" ><\/div>\n\n    <script data-no-optimize=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/wp-gymbeam-blog-theme\/js\/vue\/chunk-vendors.js\"><\/script>\n    <script data-no-optimize=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/wp-gymbeam-blog-theme\/js\/vue\/index.js\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table caption-align-default\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\">The minimum temperature required for the spread of microbes in \u00b0C<\/p><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Escherichia coli<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">-2<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Carnobacterium (several species)<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">-1.2<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Listeria monocytogenes<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">-0.4, 0.5, 1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Salmonella (several species)<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">5.2, 6.7<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Staphylococcus aureus<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">6.7, 7<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Campylobacter jejuni<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">30, 31<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1124\" height=\"632\" src=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.cz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/OK-_-raspberries-4816505_1280-min__-1124x632.jpg\" alt=\"Benefits of frozen fruits and vegetables\" class=\"wp-image-217233\" style=\"width:843px;height:474px\" title=\"Benefits of frozen fruits and vegetables\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/OK-_-raspberries-4816505_1280-min__-1124x632.jpg 1124w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/OK-_-raspberries-4816505_1280-min__-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/OK-_-raspberries-4816505_1280-min__.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1124px) 100vw, 1124px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-default\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Blanching_%E2%80%93_gets_rid_of_bacteria_but_also_vitamins\"><\/span>Blanching &#8211; gets rid of bacteria, but also vitamins<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Blanching<\/strong> is a <strong>process and cooking technique<\/strong> in which fruit or vegetables are <strong>placed<\/strong> in<strong> boiling water<\/strong> or steam for a short time.
