The Story of Frozen Foods

Frozen foods fit your family’s lifestyle.

You fill your fridge’s vegetable crisper with fresh produce, but by the time the family gets a chance to sit down together for a meal it’s spoiled. That’s what happens when life is filled with evenings at the office, PTA meetings, late soccer practices and piano lessons. Frozen foods fit the lifestyle of today’s busy families without compromising nutrition. In fact, freezing locks in nutrients. And frozen foods are always ready when you are.

Dr. Barbara Klein, a professor of food and nutrition at the University of Illinois, found that when fresh green beans are harvested, the vitamin C content begins falling immediately and a significant portion of it is gone within just 24 hours. "Actually, 58 percent of the vitamin C found in freshly picked green beans is lost within three days," says Klein. The good news is that Dr. Klein also discovered that the amount of vitamin C in frozen green beans dropped by only 15 to 20 percent from the beans’ just-picked state.

Frozen fruits and vegetables are more nutritious for you and your family than you may have originally thought. And there may be no better fit for an active lifestyle than today’s frozen foods.

HELPFUL HINT 1: USING A MICROWAVE OVEN

Proper microwave oven use may appear obvious on the surface. But there are a few things you should know about the right way to use a microwave oven in order to ensure safe, great-tasting meals and snacks every time.

Frozen foods can cook less evenly in the microwave than in conventional ovens, sometimes resulting in cold spots. It is important to carefully follow the cooking instructions on product labels, making sure to observe stirring steps and standing times if indicated. The “standing time” is actually an important part of the process, as your food may continue to cook once it comes out of the microwave. It’s not just so you don’t burn your mouth!

If you have an older model microwave or one with a lower wattage than the cooking instructions recommend, you may have to adjust the cooking time in order to reach the necessary temperature before serving. It is best to use a food thermometer to check your frozen foods to make sure a safe temperature has been reached throughout.

FROZEN FOOD FACT 1: FROZEN FOODS ARE NUTRITIOUS.

Did you know that frozen fruits and vegetables are processed within hours of harvest, thereby essentially “locking in” their vitamins and minerals? Raw products can spend several days or even weeks in transit or in storage prior to consumption, all the while losing key nutrients. In fact, researchers at the University of California Center for Excellence in Fruit & Vegetable Quality concluded that frozen fruits and vegetables are equally nutritious as their fresh and canned counterparts – and perhaps more so for some nutrients.

The frozen food industry has also made great strides in improving the nutritional value of prepared foods. The recipes for many products now contain less fat, sugar and solium. Others make use of whole wheat grains and added fiber, contain zero trans fat and feature reduced portion sizes for sensible eating. All-natural vegetable pizzas, sweet potato fries and frozen fruit smoothies are just a few of the many examples of frozen food products that play an integral part in a healthy and well- balanced diet.

THE PROUD HERITAGE OF FROZEN FOODS

Humans have been utilizing freezing as a means of safely preserving food for thousands of years. However, it took the technological genius of Clarence Birdseye in the 1920s to harness the preserving power of freezing food by making the process practical. Birdseye’s development of the double-belt freezer recreated nature’s freezing process and expanded its potential by moving it beyond the limits of climate and season. Building on this ability to freeze food anywhere, any time of year, Birdseye introduced the first line of frozen foods for sale to the public in 1930 and the frozen food industry was born.

The popularity of frozen foods grew slowly, assisted by the development of better home refrigerators and freezers, improved refrigerated transport, the shortage of tin in World War II and an ever-expanding product line that included such marketable items as frozen concentrated orange juice. In the 1950’s, a milestone industry step was taken with the introduction of the TV dinner. This development not only capitalized on the growing American fascination with television, but introduced the convenience of the complete meal in a quick and easy to prepare frozen form.

Over the past 50 years, as the amount of time Americans spent in meal preparation has steadily declined, frozen foods have remained a convenient staple, adapting its packaging and products to better accommodate new developments, such as the microwave overn. But convenience is not the only benefit frozen foods have to offer. Health conscious Amemericans have discovered the nutritional advantages of frozen vegetables and fruits to be easy-to-use key components to a healthy family menu. Waistline watchers have found a friend in the numerous low-fat frozen food offerings, while the economically conscious continue to value the diversity of frozen food possibilities that tempt the taste buds without breaking the bank.

"With the single-minded agenda to create happiness and spread more and more smiles, the Vadilal Group has really come a long way since its humble beginning in 1907. That was the year when a modest gentleman going by the name of Vadilal Gandhi, the great-grand father of Virendra R Gandhi, myself Rajesh R Gandhi and Devanshu L Gandhi, set up a small soda fountain. He passed on the business to our father, Ranchodlal, who ran a one-man show, and, with a hand cranked machine, started a small retail outlet in 1926. By the 1970s, the Vadilal Company had already evolved into a modern corporate entity. From just 8-10 outlets in Ahmedabad in 1972-73, the company moved to a lot of other parts of Gujarat, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh as well.

Not only does Vadilal enjoy the lineage of being India’s most loved ice cream brand, it is a pioneer when it comes to exports of frozen foods from India. Its state-of-the-art manufacturing plant is certified with ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 22000:2005 for quality assurance. Today, this multi-crore business boasts of the largest cold chain network in India and has its distribution network spread across the whole world. Apart from processed food and ice creams, the group has also diversified in the real estate, chemicals and forex sectors.

Today, the company functions with the goal of becoming a true Indian MNC in frozen foods by providing products and services at an affordable price without compromising on quality.”
