Fresh and Frozen Foods

[GL Marine]

Today you cannot go without hearing about how superb fresh food is, people telling you to go to your local open air market and buying locally. This is all well and good but what about those who do not have access to open air markets, or do not live near a body of water to get fresh fish?

I am not denying that fresh food is good for us, but there are a few options when it comes to buying fresh or frozen foods. If you can and have the budget; by all means by fresh. If you have a garden that is even better as fresh picked fruit and vegetables can not be beat. Frozen Food Company in Malaysia

Buying canned foods such as fruits, vegetables and fish, to me is not a good idea. As the food is processed it loses its nutrient value immediately because of the canning process. Besides that it does not have much flavor and can ruin a good dish you have prepared. If you just cannot buy fresh then by all means buy frozen. The processing of the foods does not lose any flavor or nutrients and is a great way to prepare good healthy meals. Many believe that buying frozen foods are just as bad and canned but no that is not so. Fresh food needs to be eaten right away as with frozen foods you can pop them in the freezer for another day. Especially if there are just you and your spouse, it is economical as well. Frozen Food Malaysia

Personally I buy frozen vegetables and fruit because it is just my husband and I. I do not feel the need to buy fresh all the time and some will tell you frozen can be better than fresh. Take corn for instance, buying corn on the cob is good for grilling, but the minute it is picked it starts to turn to sugar, when freezing corn, they stop that process quicker than fresh. Buying fresh fish can be tricky, one that knows what to look for can tell if the 'fresh' has been frozen previously and the store is selling it as fresh. Frozen Seafood KL

I would suggest investing in a freezer as it will help when buying frozen foods on sale and they come on sale quite often. Stock up on frozen fruit, although many fruits do not freeze well or taste kind of funky, those should be bought fresh such as apples, bananas, etc.
