• Frozen foods are a big seller in every
  supermarket and can be a lifesaver when you need
  a quick meal. Organic frozen foods are a great
  option as they can retain their nutrition, cut
  down on waste and often have the same quality as
  those found at the market. They can also reduce
  your exposure to pesticides and chemicals.

Frozen Vegetables

• Frozen Organic Food to toss in a frittata or peas
  to whirl into a smoothie, frozen vegetables are a
  great option for healthy meals. They usually cost
  less than their fresh counterparts and can last
  up to a year in the freezer. This can help reduce
  food waste which contributes to greenhouse gas
  emissions when discarded produce goes to
  landfills.
• In addition, the process of freezing vegetables
  speeds up nutrient loss that occurs when veggies
  sit on the shelf or in your veggie crisper. Just
  make sure to choose packages labeled as plain (no
  added sugar or salt) and avoid vegetables that
  come with sauces or seasoning mixes, which can
  add extra sodium and calories.
• Adding more fruits and vegetables to your diet is
  always a good idea. But barriers like spoilage
  and preparation time can make it challenging to
  eat enough produce. Fortunately, frozen
  vegetables offer an easy solution. In fact, some
  research suggests frozen vegetables may be more
  nutritious than their fresh counterparts.

Frozen Meat

• The raw meat of slaughtered animals like quarters
  of beef, sides of pork, chicken and turkey can be
  frozen to preserve its taste and consistency.
  Freezing largely suppresses the action of
  microorganisms and enzymes, but it alters the
  meat's consistency by exposing it to ultra-low
  temperatures. As the water in meat freezes, ice
  particles develop, degrading coarse fibers. This
  results in a mushy texture that lacks flavor once
  cooked.
• The quality of a frozen cut of meat depends on
  how it was packaged when freezing and the speed
  at which the ice crystals form. Grocery stores
  often vacuum seal their meat, which protects it
  from freezer burn and ensures the best texture
  and flavor once cooked. At home, you can also
  overwrap purchased cuts of meat or place them in
  a freezer bag to prevent air circulation and
  oxygen exposure. These packaging options can also
  help you avoid over-freezing and thawing, which
  are common causes of freezer burn.

Reduced Exposure to Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria

• Dairy foods like low-fat or fat-free milk,
  yogurt, and cheese provide protein, calcium,
  vitamin D, and other important nutrients for
  healthy bodies. The foods can form part of a
  balanced diet with other nutritious foods
  including whole grains, fruits, and vegetables.
• Inappropriate use of antibiotics on farms can
  cause resistant bacteria that can contaminate
  meat and other dairy products. Studies have found
  that food labeled as organic or raised without
  antibiotics may contain lower levels of these
  bacteria than conventionally produced foods.
• Organic dairy can also have a healthier omega-6
  to omega-3 fatty acid profile than traditional
  milk. The higher omega-3 fatty acids are
  associated with lower cholesterol and better
  heart health.

Frozen Berries

• Berries are a rich source of fiber, which is good
  for the digestive system. They are also low in
  calories and provide many essential vitamins and
  minerals. They are also a great option for people
  who want to lose weight as they can help regulate
  the bowel movement and keep you feeling fuller
  for longer.
• Frozen berries are typically harvested when they
  are at their peak of freshness and are then
  frozen immediately to preserve the nutrients.
  Frozen berries are also less expensive than fresh
  berries, and they contain the same nutritional
  content.
• You can use frozen berries in recipes that dont
  require the firm texture of a fresh berry,
  including muffins, quick breads, jams and pies.
  You can also make a fruit smoothie or a fruit
  compote with slightly thawed frozen berries.
  Frozen berries are also ideal for adding to
  low-fat cottage cheese as a snack.

Frozen Carrots

• Carrots are a staple side dish, but they also
  provide valuable nutrients like Vitamin A and an
  antioxidant called luteolin. They are perfect for
  adding a burst of sweetness to smoothies, but
  theyre equally delicious when added to stews and
  casseroles.
• Frozen carrots are incredibly versatile, and they
  make a great addition to soups, sauces, and even
  stir-fries! They are much tastier and more
  flavorful than fresh, as they dont lose their
  crisp texture or vibrant color during the
  freezing process.
• Organic Dairy And Grocery Products, blanched
  carrots can last up to a year. To prepare carrots
  for freezing, blanch them by boiling them for a
  few minutes before dunking them in an ice water
  bath. Once drained and patted dry, transfer them
  into a freezer bag, and squeeze out all the air
  before sealing. Freeze until ready to use, and be
  sure to label and date the bags. This prevents
  them from getting lost in the back of your
  freezer.
