Path to Frozen
Freezing allows for food makers to lock in the nutrition, flavor and texture of our favorite foods. Whether fruits and vegetables, delicious entrée meals and appetizers, or filling proteins, freezing simply presses the pause button and helps us enjoy the food when it is convenient to us. Follow along as we explain how food is frozen, the science behind the simple act of freezing, and the benefits it provides.
From Farm to Freezer: Explore the Science and Benefits of Frozen Food
Modern freezing practices allow frozen food processors to lock in flavor, nutrition and quality, all by simply lowering a food’s temperature state. Thanks to steps such as Individual Quick Freezing (IQF), shoppers enjoy delicious food that is easy to portion, meets our taste needs and expectations, and helps reduce our food waste footprint.
Learn more about the science behind freezing in an expert report that explains how freezing:
- Prevents spoilage
- Maintains nutrient value
- Captures the farm-fresh taste and eating experience that families expect
