The frozen fruit is good beyond your imagination
It is no exaggeration to say that since eating frozen fruit, there has been no ice cream or anything.
Why is ice cream delicious? Three elements. Fats, proteins and sugars.
Fats and proteins provide taste.
Proteins will grasp the "water" molecules in sugar water to form binding water; The fat is broken up to form small fat balls that combine with protein and water to form a smoother, more delicate taste.
Where to find such a thing, frozen durian to find.
Its protein content is 2.7%, fat content is 4.1%, carbohydrates (which sugar contains) content is 9.7%, ice cream has it.
Even though durian is already the king of calories in fruit, reaching 150 kcal / 100g, it is only a low-fat product compared to real ice cream.
For example, the favorite Qiao X Zi ice cream, the calories reach 389kcal / 100g, and the fat per 100g reaches 34.5g.

Disgusted with durian expensive, it is recommended to try bananas. Peeled and frozen, it is directly a Thomas swirling ascension to heaven, and there is also the taste of ice cream.
At the same time, researchers in many countries believe that ultra-processed foods (ice cream, chocolate, cake, potato chips) and so on are positively associated with obesity. High calories are not the main problem of these foods, the bigger problem is that they are often also high in sugar, high in fat, high in salt, rarely provide a variety of nutrients, available everywhere, especially easy to eat more.
Delicious, nutritious, not fat, frozen fruit is really worth a try.
If you don't love ice cream, you love popsicles. That frozen fruit is a new world for you.
During the freezing process, water in fruit cells generates ice crystals that puncture the protoplasmic membrane, vacuole membrane, and cell wall, releasing sugars, enzymes, and flavor substances.
When the mouth is thawed, it will have a different flavor.
Homemade fruit popsicles, juice + fruit combination, no additional water, no additional sugar, made out of the popsicle, the taste is natural and fresh, super refreshing.

Add yogurt, make jelly-sized fruit yogurt blocks, small and delicate, one bite a super delicious, simple zero failure!

Instead of picking left and right in front of the freezer, add excitement for 10% of the juice. Isn't it more powerful for us to take a bite of a fruit popsicle with 100% juice content?
Frozen fruit is not only delicious, but also a great way to save money.
Uneaten fruit can be frozen in a short period of time to extend the shelf life and reduce waste. Some supermarkets also have frozen fruit finished products for sale in the freezing area, which are basically harvested on a large scale during the fruit harvest season and quick-frozen. It retains the nutrients of its own fruit to the greatest extent and can store it for a longer time.
Review part: Frozen Fruit Red and Black List
Frozen fruit is good, but it is not suitable for throwing everything into the refrigerator!
Let's start with the conclusion.
High sweetness (ripe), fine texture itself, not too much moisture. Fruits that meet these three criteria are best suited for freezing (the red and black list has a chart when it goes down).
The sweetness affects the taste of the frozen fruit.
Sugar not only provides sweetness, but also reduces the freezing point of freezing, increases the solute concentration of cells, and thus increases frost resistance. Fruits with a lot of sugar, after freezing, the ice crystals formed are smaller and more delicate to eat.
The fineness of the fruit texture affects the taste.
This can be measured by pectin. In the plant cell wall, pectin is mainly covalently combined with cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, etc., forming proto-pectin, which plays a vital role in structure and hardness. Pectin is also used in the preparation of jellies, gummies, and jams. From this point of view, it is not difficult to understand why dense fruits are more suitable for freezing, and they have a greater chance of not turning into a pool of juice.
The esters in the fruit are also related to the flavor of the frozen.
This may explain why frozen strawberries in home refrigerators change their taste as soon as they are left for a long time. This is due to the imbalance of esters in the pulp caused by freezing. If it is a quick freeze in an industrial environment, strawberries can freeze in a very short period of time, and the ester substances have not changed, and the flavor can be maintained for a longer time.
As for moisture, it still depends on personal taste.
In the freezing world, it is divided into two categories: quick freezing and slow freezing. The cold cabinets bought in supermarkets, such as quick-frozen dumplings and quick-frozen seafood, are almost all quickly frozen at 10 to 100 ° C / minute, and the ice crystals generated are very small, ensuring that the moisture and juice in the food tissue will not be lost, and the structure will not be destroyed.
In the family scenario, the general freezing rate can only reach 0.1 ~ 1.0 °C / min, which will make the ice crystals formed larger and destroy the cell structure. Considering the limitations of home freezing, if you choose a fruit with more moisture, it will crunch and crunch when you eat it. But if you love crushed ice, it's fine.
The truth is the truth, is this the case in actual operation? We have evaluated some popular fruits, and we have come up with this big review of the taste of frozen fruits, please laugh at it!

Three points to note
Otherwise eating frozen fruit will dilute
Frozen fruit is delicious, but many people say that it is easy to dilute after eating.
This is most likely a critical step when freezing fruit without proper operation.
In the inherent belief, eating cold foods can cause diarrhea. In fact, in most cases, temperature is not the cause of diarrhea, hygiene is the key.
Regardless of ice water, frozen drinks, cold ice fruits, as long as it is clean, do not eat too hard and too fast, basically will not cause diarrhea.
However, I am afraid of contacting some microorganisms during the process of pre-treatment, freezing and thawing, causing viral, bacterial and protozoal infections.
So I recommend that you:
➊ Pretreatment attention to raw and cooked separately.
For example, when peeling and washing, use a clean cutting board and drinking water. Knives and cutting boards should be separated from raw and cooked.
The refrigerator has space and can be used with a freezer drawer dedicated to frozen fruit. If it's not that big, be careful not to put frozen fruit and raw meat products together.
➋ Pack and seal, label a label, and write the name and date of the fruit.
Although the microbial reproduction slows down after the fruit is frozen, it can theoretically be stored for a longer time. However, the fruit frozen for too long will produce a large ice crystal, strawberry bayberry will be easy to change the taste, affecting the taste, or eat as soon as possible as well.
➌ Eat as much as you want, do not freeze-thaw repeatedly, and eat as soon as possible.
Repeated freeze-thawing is not only a serious loss of nutrients, but also prone to deterioration.
Finally, there is one more important point.
Frozen fruit can be eaten in 5 to 10 minutes.
Don't wait too long!
Otherwise, not only soft collapse, but also may occur...
