Avoid buying frozen food that is discoloured, soft, abnormally shaped, covered with frost, frozen into a chunk, or in ripped or perforated packaging. |
|
| |
|
 |
Wait till the end of your shopping to buy your frozen food. You can even use isothermal bags, or, when extremely hot, a cooler. When you get home, put them in the freezer immediately. |
|
| |
|
 |
Don’t overload your freezer. To keep your products frozen, air must circulate freely. |
|
| |
|
 |
Make sure there is proper rotation in your freezer. Food preserved the longest must be used first. |
|
| |
|
 |
After purchasing, eat frozen foods as soon as possible to fully enjoy their benefits – in flavour, texture and nutritional value. |
|
| |
|
 |
Pay close attention to the labels, and follow directions for thawing, preparing and cooking frozen vegetables carefully. |
|
| |
|
 |
Don’t thaw frozen vegetables on the counter or in the refrigerator. Cook them immediately upon removing from the freezer. Use as little water as possible and avoid overcooking. They are perfectly suited for steaming or wok cooking. |
