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

Nov 18,2025

Quick-frozen fruits and vegetables can save a lot of time to process vegetables by themselves when used. The more common ones are corn kernels, tricolor beans (carrots, corn kernels and pea kernels), edamame beans, green cauliflower, etc. Although these are very easy to use, there are still some things to pay attention to.Today, I will tell you about the wrong practices and reasons in the use of frozen fruits and vegetables.：

1: I didn't touch it with my hands when choosing：

One important point in choosing quick-frozen fruits and vegetables is to gently touch the vegetables in the package to see if they are all stuck together. If so, it means that during the journey from the place of production to the place of sale, there has been a situation of deicing and re-freezing. This condition may cause the original moisture to be lost, and some nutrients to be lost, and even cause changes in color, taste and texture. Therefore, when choosing quick-frozen fruits and vegetables, it is good to pick vegetables that are distinct.

2: You have to de-ice before you can use it：

Quick-frozen fruits and vegetables can be cooked directly without deicing, because quick-frozen fruits and vegetables are usually cut into very small pieces, and most quick-frozen fruits and vegetables are heat treated in factories to kill Jing, so they don't need to be cooked for a long time to be edible, so it doesn't matter if you don't deicing them before cooking, just simply rinse them.In addition, after quick-frozen fruits and vegetables are deicing, most of the texture will become soft and rotten, so deicing will also affect the taste of eating.

3: Add frozen fruits and vegetables too quickly when cooking：

Most quick-frozen fruits and vegetables will go through heat treatment steps when they are made and will be cut into small pieces. Therefore, quick-frozen fruits and vegetables will be cooked faster than fresh vegetables, so if you want to replace the fresh vegetables in a recipe with quick-frozen fruits and vegetables, don't add them at the point in time when the recipe says to add fresh vegetables. , But add quick-frozen fruits and vegetables a little later, so as not to lose more nutrients and make the taste worse because of cooking for too long.
