Fresh may be considered optimum, but quality frozen food (i.e. sushi) isn’t too far behind.
Considering distribution time, fresh is generally picked prematurely, depriving it from obtaining its fullest nutritional potential. Once picked, time kicks in, and the natural enzymatic breakdown process begins, stripping away freshness, nutritional integrity and value (i.e. natural flavor, texture) until consumption.
Contessa’s frozen food is not a leftover quantity from a fresh harvest. It is freshly harvested at the peak of Mother Nature’s intended nutritional value and flavor and frozen within hours of harvest to protect nutritional integrity.
Studies have proven that quality frozen food can deliver better nutritional values than fresh. When you can’t find it fresh, get it frozen from a reliable source.
