Frozen Food

<work in progress>

Goal is to write down the benefits of frozen food (cost, environment), dispel myths of frozen food (taste, nutritional benefits), and what are the kinds of vegetables that we can buy to freeze.

Talk about frozen ingredients to get, and talk about how food can be properly frozen especially when we spend too much

Introduction

<why I am doing this, including how it is not very widely used>

Case for Frozen Food

<can be bought in cooked-food form>

<can be bought in frozen ingredients form>

<what about frozen fruits? and when are they good? smoothie, etc>

<insert cost comparison, studies on health benefits (lack of difference), time preparation, convenience, less food waste>

Freezing your own vegetables

Sometimes when we cook for ourselves, we end up with too much of one ingredient through no fault of our own. Celeries, for example, is something that we would use little of but comes in huge stalks. Other times, it is just more cost-effective to buy in bulk. That is why it is important too to know which vegetables we can freeze and subsequently defrost, and how to do so to retain its texture and taste.

What happens when you freeze vegetables?

What can be frozen?

<examine what kind of vegetables that we can freeze, and what cannot be frozen at home>

Frozen Food

<Multiple types, but we will focus on frozen food that we can prepare or eat, more commercial, less "prepared/food types". So less about ready-to-eat food that requires pure direct eating, but more of frozen ingredients.

Not talking about ultraproessed food
