Although freezers are often used to extend life food not all types of food can be frozen well. Improper freezing can damage the texture, taste and nutritional value of the food.
Knowing what types of food should not be frozen can help you avoid food waste and ensure every meal remains delicious and nutritious.
The following are 10 foods that should not be frozen to maintain quality and safety for consumption as reported by Stars Insider, Sunday (14/7/2024).
10 Foods You Should Never Freeze
1. Eggs
Although cooked eggs can be frozen, it is not recommended to freeze them raw with the shell. This is because the contents of the shell will expand during the process, and the egg may crack. In addition, the texture of the egg yolk will change after it is thawed.
2. Watermelon Slices
Freezing watermelon is not harmful at all, but its water-rich cells will be affected when you thaw it, causing it to lose its original texture.
3. Celery
Raw celery loses all its properties when frozen. Celery not only changes color, but also taste and aroma. To avoid this, you can boil them briefly before freezing.
4. Spaghetti
If you like your pasta cooked al dente, don’t put it in the freezer. Cooked pasta will lose its flavor and consistency, becoming mushy.
