Did you know?

The frozen vegetable industry was transformed by Clarence Birdseye who observed Inuit people in Labrador Canada using rapid freezing in -40°C temperatures to preserve fish and meat in the 1910s. He noticed the rapid freezing created much smaller ice crystals that preserved cell structure unlike the slow freezing then used commercially. His flash-freezing technology — commercialized in the 1920s — is the basis of all modern frozen vegetable production. Nutritional studies consistently show frozen vegetables retain nutrients comparably to fresh.
