How to Serve Quality Food and Save Time in the Food Services Industry

Every profession has a certain label associated with it and it is obvious that for the food services profession it may be the word "stressful". There are peak hours when everyone decides to go and eat without taking into account that they are not the only ones in the bar or restaurant. Despite this, everyone wants their food quickly and of course they also want it to be good quality.

Do you work in this sector and would you like to serve quality food at a good price without having to spend too long preparing it? The solution is simple, use recipes with frozen products on your menu.

Maybe you have some preconceptions about frozen foods, but remember that top quality when discussing an excellent culinary product is when its aroma, texture, appearance and taste are optimal. Our vegetables are frozen within a few hours of being picked. They reach the consumer in almost the exact same conditions and quality as when they were picked out in the fields, and so they retain most of their nutritional values.

In addition to maintaining their nutrients as previously mentioned, frozen vegetables make our work easier and are the perfect partner for the food services business. Here's why.

1. It allows us to achieve the high safety and hygiene standards that are fundamental in this sector. Freezing prevents natural degradation of food and our products go through rigorous hygiene and safety controls that will prevent cases of poisoning.

2. Products with lower prices that are available all year without compromising the quality of the final product. The vegetables are picked in the field when both volume and price are more affordable. Once frozen, they are available all year round, at a more competitive price, regardless of the season.

3. They help us optimise stocks. We can use exactly what we need according to the number of customers we have and keep the rest in the freezer without it spoiling, reducing food waste in our kitchen. The longer shelf life of frozen vegetables also allows us greater room for manoeuvre when it comes to stocking without the risk of the vegetables spoiling easily.

4. They allow us to save time. Frozen vegetables arrive ready to cook, they are washed, peeled, cut and pre-cooked as you wish, they can even be pre-fried, roasted or mixed with additional ingredients such as meat, fish, pasta, rice, sauces and other dressings. They can be cooked directly from the freezer, with a simple sautéing or boiling, almost with a click of your fingers.

If you're looking to have fully satisfied clients, frozen vegetables can become your new best friend. They will allow you to offer a healthy, varied, affordable and quality menu as if the products had just been freshly picked from the field.
