Frozen food is often something many steer clear of. Many opt to purchase hot ready-made food or prepare it themselves rather than a frozen meal.  However, this can be traced to common misconceptions or opinions of others on the issue of frozen food. Many believe the taste is compromised and food textures and colours can change. At Markwell Foods, we believe these people are eating the wrong types of frozen food. 

Years ago, many of those misconceptions may have been true.  However, at Markwell Foods, we have worked hard to ensure that our frozen foods not only taste great, but are also rich in nutrients. 

What many people don’t know is that frozen food holds almost all of the benefits of fresh. Once the food is prepared, it is immediately frozen to lock in taste, quality and nutritional value. In fact, when the food is defrosted and prepared, you can’t even tell the difference. 

This article will show you the benefits of frozen food and why it is best suited for you and your loved ones. keep reading to discover more about the benefits of frozen food: 

1. Nutritional value: Most people believe frozen food is processed food lacking freshness and nutritional value, but that is untrue. In fact, frozen food has as much nutritional value as food immediately cooked or fruits or vegetables plucked immediately from its source. This is because within an hour after preparing the food or plucking the fruit, it is frozen, locking its nutritional value.
2. Easy preparation: Frozen foods make it easy for you, especially if you have a busy schedule, because it is quick to prepare. Products such as frozen vegetables are already cut and ready to go, significantly reducing your prep time. Often, all you need is to put it in the microwave or oven. 
3. Last longer: Frozen food has a long life span of up to 6 months, unlike cooked food which loses value after a day and becomes unsafe to eat. With frozen food, you can stock your freezer with nutritional and delicious meals for your family for months ahead, allowing you to prepare for life events and busy schedules with ease.

Frozen food has many benefits, as listed above, which make it safe and suitable and a better choice for you and your family; another benefit is it is cost-effective, which means it can be purchased at a reasonable price, and it reduces waste.
