Erin’s parents own Chris-Da-Will farm which If you do not have a garden, store-bought frozen pro duce is considered the next best thing to just-picked fruits and vegetables. According to the Frozen Vegetable Coun cil, produce is frozen within four to six hours after being picked. This policy locks in the full flavor, color and nutri ents that could be depleted when fresh produce travels days or weeks to market, then sits in your pantry or on a refrigerator shelf. A study done at the University of Illi nois at Urbana-Campaign, found that “Fresh-frozen” green beans (whether frozen by a home gardener or by a frozen-food manufacturer) retained twice the Vitamin C than so-called “fresh” green beans bought at a retail market. To make sure the frozen vegetables you purchase are just as fresh as they can be. First squeeze the package before buying it. If the vegetables are clumped together, that indicates they have been thawed and refrozen, which could result in a loss of quality. Second, if you can see through the package, be sure the vegetables are brightly colored with no crystallization—another sign of thawing and refreezing. When you-reach the checkout counter, be sure all of your frozen items arc packed together to keep them cold, and get them into your freezer as soon as possible. As long as frozen produce is stored at 0 degrees F., it will stay fresh-tasting for up to six months. If you use only part of the package at one meal, you can either refreeze the rest in an airtight container for up to four weeks or let the entire package defrost and drain; then store, covered, in the refrigerator and use within three days. How longa food will retain its quality in the freezer will depend on the food’s condition at the lime of freezing and on the way you package it. Foods must be in airtight, moisture-resistant packages, otherwise they arc suscepti ble to deterioration, contamination by bacteria and freezer bum. Freezer bum can occur when a food loses moisture, often because an opening in the package has been exposed it to air. Light spots appear on the surface, and it becomes dry and tough. Freezer burn makes food taste unpleasant but it does not make the food unsafe. Keep a freezer thermometer handy to be sure the temp erature remains at 0 degrees F. A full freezer maintains its temperature better than a half-empty one, but do not freeze too many items at one time. The heat given off by the non frozen foods could raise the temperature m your freezer. Likewise, it is also important to keep the to-be-frozen foods away from the already-frozen foods; place the unfrozen items on the freezer floor for fastest freezing or on a specially designated freezer shelf. It is best to thaw meat, poultry and seafood in the refrigerator rather than on your kitchen counter. If you need to thaw quickly, place the package in frequent changes of cold wcatcr until it is ready for cooking. Thaw ing at room temperature or in hot water can be hazardous because it sets up the ideal warm environment for bacterial growth. Foods can be cooked from the frozen state, but about 50% more cooking time must be added (a roast that nor mally would cook in four hours will take six hours from the frozen slate).
