Frozen Foods That Are Worth It

Basically, in two cases we reach for frozen foods : in the winter and when we have to prepare something faster and healthier than "fast food".

Frozen vegetables and fruits are a better option than canning them, as they retain many of their useful nutrients. What makes them less popular? Of course, the unfavorable higher price - a factor that is insignificant when the products are not on the market and, unfortunately, they can not retain all their useful vitamins and minerals, but are still rich in them and are natural for our body feeds on fried chips and pasta. 

Frozen broccoli is probably the most convenient option for cooking. You open the package and pour in boiling water for 5 minutes and they are ready. It is enough to pour a suitable sauce and the dinner has acquired its sophistication. Broccoli is rich in vitamin K, vitamin C, folic acid, fiber and antioxidants, which are so lacking in the diet during the cold half of the year. 

The situation is similar with spinach - it is boiled, chopped, a little egg, cottage cheese or cheese and mushrooms are added and we can enjoy the different dish. At the same time with green leafy vegetables we give our body fiber, folic acid, calcium and iron. It is clear that spinach is not a food that satisfies, but, first, we must return to the forgotten health habits in the evening to eat lighter, and secondly, combining it with appropriate other products as mentioned we can provide the body and the necessary nutrients. elements and fats to achieve saturation with a little.

Boiled sweet corn , even stored before it is ready for consumption in the freezer, provides us with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, fiber and protein. This combination will be difficult to achieve with a slice of pizza when we need "fast energy". However, with just a cup of corn we can quickly restore our energy balance and continue with our tasks for the day. 

Cauliflower is a vegetable that is traditionally present on the table of Bulgarians in winter in the form of pickles. It is rich in fiber and B vitamins. You can hardly find a tastier and healthier option, but if we are looking for a different taste we can add it to the soup or vegetable dish.

Peas are a legume that would take away time impossible for our time. Before the can, the healthier choice is a package of frozen peas. It is a source of magnesium, potassium and calcium, which are invaluable for cardiovascular health.

It is difficult to imagine how we could get fresh meat every day today . Once placed in the freezer, it takes time to thaw and cook. Packages of chilled chicken or other meat are not always suitable for organizing on a weekday. And meat is a valuable food with which we can provide our body with the necessary proteins.

The same goes for fish . Even when frozen, it stores the beneficial omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, vitamin D and vitamin B2. Heart health in winter should be supported more than in other seasons, and if we keep fish on it, it should actually be present in our menu twice a week. But do not fry it for this purpose!
