It's Real Food...Just Frozen!
Frozen foods have come a long way since they were introduced in 1930 by Clarence Birdseye. Today's tasty products have been developed and prepared by expert chefs in test kitchens across the country – using real ingredients and rigorously evaluated by nutritionists and dietitians.
The benefits of frozen foods are many – in meal planning, cooking or entertaining:
Frozens are fresh – flash-freezing technology delivers "perfect preservation," freezing at the peak of freshness, right from the field or sea.
They're money saving! No spoilage or food waste – use what you want/need and put the rest back in the freezer.
Frozen foods provide portion control at its best.
They require low or no preparation - the picking, cleaning, slicing and dicing are already done.
Your favorite foods are always in season.
Eco-friendly packaging is keeping frozen foods fresher longer and retaining more nutrients.
