With the rise of weather and temperature, frozen foods on the market are also popular, such as frozen waxberries, frozen chestnuts In the scorching summer, if you could take a bite of frozen fruit, it would be so refreshing.

What's good about frozen fruits?

1. Significantly extend the shelf life of fruits

Usually, the sweeter the fruit, the higher its sugar content (some fruits, such as watermelon and peaches, may have a sweet taste but not high sugar content), and are more susceptible to bacterial invasion and spoilage. But the low temperature of freezing can greatly delay or even block the spoilage process of fruits, allowing us to taste the sweetness of summer fruits in their original form for a long time.

2. Properly preserve the nutritional content of food

A study has found that the nutrient loss of rapidly frozen fruits is extremely slow, and even after being stored for several months, there is not much difference between various nutrients and fresh fruits.

Temperature and storage time have a significant impact on the content of various nutrients, especially vitamin C and B group, in fruits. The higher the temperature and the longer the storage time, the more severe the loss of vitamins. With the continuous development of food industry technology, low-temperature quick freezing can quickly stop the metabolism and respiration of internal cells in fruits, thereby curbing the consumption and loss of nutrients. Even hard frozen fruits do not compromise their nutritional value.

3. After freezing, the sweetness is higher and there is a new taste

Although freezing has an impact on the flavor of fresh fruits, its sweetness remains, or even higher. Due to the increased sweetness of fructose in fruits at low temperatures, many fruits, such as watermelon, lychee, grapes, cantaloupe, mango, etc., are sweeter after freezing than at room temperature.

In terms of taste and texture, although frozen fruits lose the crispness or softness of fresh fruits, they also have a special taste similar to ice cream, popsicles, and smoothies. They are much lower in fat, sugar, health, and natural compared to the vast majority of ice creams sold on the market, making them enjoyable to eat.
