Food and meals you can freeze

Keeping frozen food or frozen meals handy is a good alternative for busy people but you have to consider different things to make sure you are storing your food in a safe way.

According to the USDA website, in order to safely store food in the freezer the temperature should be 0 °F. This will help to preserve the vitamin content, color, flavor and texture of the food.

The website also recommends to check for any strange odor in the food before using it. Remember that the longer you keep the food in the freezer the more likely it is that the quality of the food will be affected.
