Did you know?

Commercial frozen peach production in the United States began in earnest in the 1920s when mechanical refrigeration made large-scale freezing practical. Georgia's peach industry — which experiences significant seasonal gluts when the entire crop ripens simultaneously — embraced freezing as a way to extend the market for their fruit. IQF (individually quick frozen) technology developed in the 1960s allows each peach slice to freeze separately preventing clumping — the same technology used to make convenient frozen peach slices for both human and dog consumption.
