Wrong practices and reasons in the use of frozen fruits and vegetables

Quick frozen fruits and vegetables can save a lot of time when using them. Common ones include corn kernels, tricolor beans (carrots, corn kernels, and peas), edamame, green cauliflower, and so on. Although these are all very useful, there are still some things to pay attention to. Today, I will talk to you about the incorrect practices and reasons for using frozen fruits and vegetables:
1: Not touching with hands during selection:
It is important to gently touch the vegetables inside the packaging when selecting frozen fruits and vegetables to see if they all stick together. If they do, it indicates that during the process of being sent from the production site to the sales site, there has been a situation of de icing and re freezing, which may cause loss of original moisture, loss of some nutrients, and even changes in color, taste, and texture. Therefore, when selecting frozen fruits and vegetables, it is best to choose vegetables with distinct chunks.
2: You must first remove the ice before using it:
Frozen fruits and vegetables can be cooked directly without removing the ice, as they are usually cut into very small pieces. Moreover, most frozen fruits and vegetables undergo a heat treatment method of killing Jing in the factory, so they do not need to be cooked for a long time before consumption. Therefore, it is okay not to remove the ice before cooking, just rinse them briefly. In addition, after de icing, the texture of frozen fruits and vegetables often becomes soft and rotten, so de icing can also affect the taste.
3: Adding frozen fruits and vegetables too quickly during cooking:
Most frozen fruits and vegetables go through heat treatment steps and are also cut into small pieces during production, so frozen fruits and vegetables are cooked faster than fresh vegetables. Therefore, if you want to replace fresh vegetables in a recipe with frozen fruits and vegetables, do not add them at the time when the recipe says to add fresh vegetables. Instead, add frozen fruits and vegetables slightly later to avoid losing more nutrients and deteriorating the taste due to prolonged cooking.
