Advantages of Processed Vegetables
Frozen VegetablesNo additives or preservatives
Quick freezing is a 100% natural operation since it uses no additives or preservatives.
Convenient
Frozen vegetables are available year-round. Plus they’re easy to divide into the desired number of servings.
Long storage life
While frozen vegetables can be kept in the freezer for up to three months, they should be consumed within three weeks of purchasing for optimal taste.
Time-saving
Frozen vegetables are quick and easy to prepare. They are precooked and are ready in minutes.
Optimal preservation
Vegetables are frozen immediately after harvest, when they are chock-full of freshness, flavor, color, and nutritional value. Quick freezing locks in the goodness.
Additional nutritional advantage
Frozen vegetables retain their optimal and consistent nutritional value, unlike fresh “out of season” vegetables, in which nutritional value deteriorates as a result of being hastily picked, and transported and stored for long periods of time.
Stable prices
The price of frozen vegetables remains stable throughout the year regardless of weather conditions, while fresh vegetable prices vary considerably depending on the growing season and other external factors.
No waste
With flash-frozen vegetables there is no waste. Two kilos of flash-frozen vegetables equals two kilos of vegetables on the plate. Compare this to fresh vegetables, which have a much lower net weight once they’ve been trimmed, cleaned, and/or peeled.
No additives or preservatives
Canning, like flash freezing, is a 100% natural food preservation method that uses no additives or preservatives.
Time-saving
Canned vegetables are quick and easy to prepare. They are fully cooked and require only reheating before serving.
Long shelf life
Thanks to the preservation method known as “appertization,” canned vegetables retain their goodness and nutritional value for long periods. They are fully cooked and heat-sterilized directly in hermetically sealed cans.
Food safety
Thanks to their rigid containers, canned vegetables offer unparalleled safety. It is virtually impossible to introduce a foreign object into a can.
