People can't live without refrigerators. In addition to cooling drinks, people also freeze some ice cream, meat and other foods. For some people, buying and cutting vegetables every day is especially troublesome, so buying some frozen vegetable cubes like red pepper, celery, etc., has become their choice. Convenient to eat a small amount at any time. You should have bought frozen red pepper cubes from different supermarkets. Can you tell the difference in taste?

There are two main factors that affect the taste of frozen red pepper cubes: the choice of ingredients and process, and what you do when you thaw them in the kitchen.


Raw material selection and freezing process


1. Raw material maturity.

The specifications of export quick-frozen vegetables, such as length and thickness, are closely related to maturity, and some vegetables must reach a certain size before they can be frozen and sold.

2. Cleaning and draining.

Cleaning is the dust, foreign bodies and some residual drugs attached to the surface to ensure clean hygiene. Salt water is used in cleaning, and the concentration of salt water is one of the factors affecting the quality of food. Drain so that the food does not freeze together in large areas so that it can be easily packaged.

3. Frozen temperature.

This is the key link in the processing of frozen vegetables. If the temperature is too high, the vegetable cell water infiltration, not fresh quality. If the temperature is not low enough to inhibit microbial growth, it will allow bacteria to multiply.

4. packaging.

Commonly people use PE plastic bags, glass, cardboard boxes, aluminum foil bags, etc., we need to choose non-toxic, good air insulation, good light protection packaging.
