Meal plans are becoming increasingly popular as people look for ways to lose weight and lead healthier lifestyles. As its name suggests, a meal plan is a diet plan made to decide meals in advance so that it can save time and energy. If you are looking to lose weight, then creating a calorie deficit meal plan is the way to go. This will help you not only buying your ingredients and prep them in advance but also help you already count the calories and nutrients you will be getting from your meals.
Even without the idea of weight loss, meal plans come in handy for singles as well as big families who love having different kinds of foods over a week. It keeps everyone well-equipped to create meals faster and still bring out the most nourishing food. However, meal plans can seem like a mind-boggling task to take up. This is where frozen foods like frozen vegetables, frozen peas and frozen prawns can complement any meal plan to make it less of a hassle. Let us explain how:
- Frozen foods are convenient
As their name suggests frozen foods are frozen to make their freshness and nutrition last longer. These foods are stored refrigerators under very cold temperatures to keep them fresh and tasty. Frozen foods usually come with directions of use and specify the temperature at which they need to be stored.
ITC’s Farmland produces a range of frozen foods like Farmland Frozen Mixed Vegetables, Farmland Frozen Green Peas and Farmland Frozen Sweet Corn, all of which are pre-cleaned which make it safe and trustworthy to use in the kitchen and reduce chopping and washing time to almost zero.
- Frozen foods are nutrition-rich
Many believe that frozen food is bad for health and devoid of any natural nutrients. However, with new and innovative technologies entering the frozen food market, frozen products today can retain all their nutrients for about 12 months after packaging. For example, ITC Farmland products use IQF (Individually Quick Frozen) technology which ensures the individual freezing of every vegetable that prevents degradation and increases retention of nutrients.
Hence while creating meals according to your meal plan, you will be assured that you are consuming the best nutrient-rich food with frozen food.
- Frozen foods are affordable
Frozen foods products come in a reasonable amount which can last for multiple uses instead of just one. This makes it a great alternative to buying fresh groceries each week and saves you the cost of multiple purchases. Buying a pack of mixed vegetables or prawns can help you create numerous meals and use your ingredients effectively while saving up on money.
Often we buy groceries and forget to utilise all of them in our weekly meals. This results in food degradation and wastage which also means you waste money. Frozen foods keep your food fresh for longer too. They are also easily found in every supermarket and moderately sized grocery store in India.
ITC Farmland is a high-quality frozen food brand that brings out the freshest and most nutritious vegetables, cleans them and freezes them with IQF technology to give you the best frozen food for all your meals. Along with Farmland, ITC Master Chef Frozen Prawns and Frozen snacks are also excellent frozen food brands that produce the fresh frozen prawns and delectable frozen snacks.
