Therapist Gives Surprising List of Foods You Shouldn't Freeze: Here's Why
A candidate of medical sciences listed products that are not recommended to be frozen.
The list includes products that many people are used to freezing.
Therapist Andrei Kondrakhin shared his comments on this topic in a conversation with Vechernyaya Moskva .
He noted that freezing allows to extend the shelf life of products.
But this comes at the cost of their nutritional value.
The doctor does not recommend freezing meat, milk, and fruit.
We are also talking about onions, zucchini and other vegetables that contain a lot of liquid.
The whole point is that liquid crystals, under the influence of low temperatures, destroy the structure of the product.
This leads to changes in taste and loss of beneficial components.
But Kondrakhin pointed out that industrial freezing makes it possible to avoid this.
If it is carried out very quickly, the taste and quality of the food is preserved.
The therapist recommends cooking a particular product immediately after purchasing it, rather than freezing it.
Otherwise, one or two freeze-thaw cycles will result in the loss of the lion's share of nutrients.
