The term ‘fresh-frozen’ for vegetables and berries means they are frozen directly after harvest, which ensures the maximum preservation of their colour, texture, taste and nutritional content, allowing consumers all over the world to buy top-quality products at any time of the year.

Put simply, there are no reasons not to buy and eat fresh-frozen vegetables and berries.

While fresh berries and vegetables are high in taste, colour and nutrients, prolonged transportation, storage and cooking can reduce this quite a bit. Therefore you should eat fresh produce straight away, or buy it frozen instead, with the nutrition, flavour, colour and texture preserved.

• The produce is richer in colour, texture and taste compared to fresh vegetables that have been transported to the sales outlet
• The maximum levels of vital vitamins and nutrients are conserved in the fresh-frozen produce
• Using fresh-frozen produce helps prevent food waste – you can prepare only what you need and save the rest in the freezer
• The produce is already cleaned, washed and cut – ready to cook to save you time in the kitchen
• The produce does not need to be defrosted and should be cooked for as briefly as possible
• You can use every bit of the frozen produce, unlike fresh produce where you might need to cut off unusable parts

Fresh-frozen vegetables and berries are filled with vital minerals and vitamins we need to maintain a healthy body, and they have a major advantage over fresh vegetables sold in most outlets: they retain most of their nutritional value because they are frozen very quickly after harvesting, making their colour, texture, taste and nutritional value richer than those of fresh vegetables in the long run.

Emborg’s fresh-frozen vegetables and berries are of a consistent and high quality. Using them can also save you time and energy in the kitchen, as they come pre-washed and pre-cut, so they only need to be cooked, cutting out all the messy and time-consuming preparation needed with fresh produce. 

Freezing is an industrial process where the vegetable’s core temperature is lowered quickly (± 15–20 min, depending on the product) without harming the cell structure. 

This process is similar to that of the freezer in your home but with a key difference. Your freezer stabilises food in the condition it is already in, but as a home freezer lowers the temperature relatively slowly (on average over 24 hours), this can have a negative effect on the cell structure because large ice crystals can form in the cells, which makes the food less crispy after defrosting. This effect is completely avoided by industrial ultrafast freezing – also known as fresh-freezing – which maintains the fruit and vegetables’ original texture.

Our vegetables and berries are blanched before they are packed. Blanching fixes the natural colour of the produce and makes it more intense. The deep green colour of garden peas or spinach is therefore not produced with colouring agents. The colour comes from their natural pigments coming to the surface.

Fresh-frozen vegetables contain no preservatives. The process of blanching vegetables and berries destroys certain harmful enzymes, stops vegetables from developing further, and ‘freezes’ them, as they were, in their current fresh state. This means there is also no decay and thus no need for preservatives.

Our frozen vegetables are washed and cleaned before they are frozen, and therefore it is not necessary to wash the vegetables before cooking. If you are in doubt, please find further cooking information on our packaging.

In order to retain all the vitamins, minerals, texture and the full flavour of fresh-frozen vegetables, it is important to cook them as briefly as possible. This applies to boiling, steaming and frying.

You can find the exact cooking instructions for each product on its packaging.

Ice may occur in smaller quantities and is normal in frozen vegetable bags.

Airholes are necessary for the air to get out of the bag.

Variations can occur between different batches due to the colour variation of the raw ingredient, that is, the mushrooms themselves. However, there will be no effects on the quality and taste of the mushrooms.

The production of organic vegetables is subject to specific regulations and demands, such as:

• Limited use of pesticides and fertilisers
• Traceability from farm to table
• Certification requirements (i.e. Organic logo for the EU)

Organic farming, and indeed eating organic products, is very beneficial for animal welfare, the environment and your own health.

Animal welfare is an important aspect of producing organic dairy and meat products, as strict regulations ensure that the animals are fed correctly and not confined in miserable cages.

Because organic farming does not use harmful chemicals, there is also less air, water and soil pollution. This helps maintain a good biodiversity and ensures a healthier world.

Organic food is produced without the use of unnecessary antibiotics and pesticides, meaning that it will not contribute to an antibiotic-resistant immune system developing and is generally better for your health.

What is also great about organic food is that you can easily substitute any non-organic product in a recipe with an organic. What is not to like?
