Nutritional Tips

Vegetables are usually frozen and packed after the harvest when they are fresh (at their peak of ripeness). Therefore, they are more likely to retain nutritional values. Sometimes they may be richer in nutritional values than others which have traveled across countries and stored for a long time before sitting on your table.

It is easy to add fresh, frozen or tinned vegetables to meals. Mushrooms are versatile and have benefits (e.g. contain almost no fat, sugar, or salt but are valuable sources of fibre, and vitamins B1, B2, B3, and B6). More than 90% of the mushroom content is water.

Having one bag of frozen mushrooms in your home freezer may be convenient, especially for those who do not consume mushrooms so often and are hesitant to buy a pack of fresh mushrooms.
