Cooks named 7 foods that should not be bought frozen. It is better to avoid them in refrigerated sections of stores and take them only fresh.

Chef Dana Bujalski said that herbs are the first on such a list. She herself never buys them frozen and does not recommend it to others. They can look quite unattractive after defrosting, and the taste is far from that of a fresh product.

Sea scallops occupy such a place on the list. Some manufacturers add water to them. Because of this, seafood can become tough and decrease in size already at the stage of cooking.

Bread changes its consistency after freezing. By buying it frozen, consumers risk being unpleasantly surprised by its taste. Bread is always best fresh.

Chef Susan Irby called frozen strawberries illegal. The berry literally disintegrates due to cooling to negative temperatures. As a result, the taste deteriorates, and only compote can be prepared from a product that has undergone such processing.

Cutlets for burgers should be purchased exclusively fresh. Cooks emphasize that the dish can be prepared in different ways, but the best taste will be when using fresh ground beef.

Cash dough does not tolerate the freezing process very well. Therefore, no desserts made from it should go through cooling to negative temperatures.

Broccoli completes the list. Vegetables suffer due to freezing. Chef Jessica Randhawa assures that this is a problem with all cruciferous vegetables. They lose most of their flavor after such processing. For broccoli, the problem is further complicated by the loss of its nutrients.
