Why frozen food isn't so bad

Darpan News Desk IANS, 12 Dec, 2014 10:42 AM
    Frozen food, considered a lazy cook's friend, can actually turn out to be a boon for saving you from grocery errands in the chilly winter. They also take less effort and have a longer shelf life.
     
    McCain Foods Kitchen has listed what makes stocking up frozen food in your freezer a viable option for anyone -- a working woman, a bachelor, a student, a not-so-good-at-cooking or not-so-fond-of-cooking person or a passionate cook.
     
    * They are efficient in reducing wastage. Wastage occurs due to peeling, chopping, or when the fruit/vegetable is rotten from inside.
     
    * They are also efficient in reducing the effort one takes to wash, peel and dice vegetables consequently. So, they help in saving time. 
     
    * They are also more presentable as they are cut and packaged in uniform shapes and sizes. 
     
    * They offer consistency of taste and texture as well.
     
    * Processed frozen snacks also have a much longer shelf life.
     
    * Their year-round availability also gives them an edge.
     
    *Their prices do not fluctuate everyday.
     
    * And lastly, winter gives an added reason to buy frozen food as it is the time when one's too lazy for all the do-it-yourself tasks.
