What are the benefits of frozen fruit in the food supply chain?

There are three primary benefits when comparing frozen fruits to fresh:

  1. Frozen fruits are ready-to-serve. There’s little-to-no preparation time and this convenience encourages more use. For restaurants, the labor savings are extremely important.
  2. Research shows that the nutritional value of frozen fruits is equal to, and in some cases, better than fresh produce. Also, Wawona picks fruits at peak ripeness, locking in the flavors as well as the nutrients.
  3. Frozen fruits are an integral part of a sustainable food system, playing a big role in reducing food waste. With frozen foods, households and restaurants can avoid this financial waste due to the longer shelf-life and being able to prepare only what is needed.
