The Best And Worst Foods To Buy Frozen

Most foods and herbs can be frozen, but some of them lose their crispness and nutritional value when frozen. Certain foods—like spinach—take up less space when frozen, and can last anywhere from three months to one year in the freezer. Fresh foods have a tendency to perish after just a few days.

Broccoli

Broccoli is loaded with essential vitamins, but it can be hard to find when it's not in season. This  vegetable freezes well for up to a year, especially if it's blanched beforehand. During harvesting, broccoli loses a lot of its nutritional value but if prepared and frozen quickly, it can contain more beta-carotene than when fresh.

Burgers Patties

No one really knows what's inside prepacked burger patties, which is why it's always better to make them from scratch. This way, you can use your own ground beef, spices, and bread. Mass-produced burgers contain a lot of water for bulking, and don't have that nice juicy flavor of a fresh patty.

Berries

Behold the berries! Rich in antioxidants, and loaded with natural sweetness, berries are loved by kids and adults alike. These versatile fruits can go moldy within a day, which is why they fare better when frozen. They make for a great healthy snack during the summer months when frozen, and can easily be added to smoothies.
