These 13 Foods Taste Much Better When Frozen!

My family used to buy a lot of frozen food, but happily, we've got out of that bad habit and embraced all things fresh. However, this means that our freezer is wasting so much energy being turned on all the time with hardly anything in it. And, amazingly, it turns out that there are quite a few foods that taste much better when frozen. So here is a handy list of 13 of my favorite foods that I now love to eat fresh from the freezer. Soon your freezer will be full of these delicious items too!

1. Avocados

The most delicious popsicles don't have to be sugary sweet, in fact, avocados make an amazingly savory alternative. What better mid-afternoon healthy snack can there be than a few frozen slices of avocado with a dash of salt and chili pepper? I can't think of one. 
 
2. Chocolate
frozen, food,
Chocolate is not merely a very popular snack, it's also healthy too. Plus, the sensation of cold chocolate melting sensuously in my warm mouth is something I like to savor each and every day. When they are this cold you can really take your time, no longer wolfing down a whole pack without even appreciating the wondrousness of the chocolate. 
 
 
3. Bananas
frozen, food,
 
Frozen bananas can be mashed up to make the simplest of ice-creams or milkshakes. For some reason freezing them removes that odd aftertaste that puts some people off the fruit entirely. The texture is also different when frozen, rather like a fruity popsicle. 
 
 
4. Peas
frozen, food,

Peas are one vegetable that are probably in your freezer anyway, but if you've never had a bite of a few without defrosting them first, you're missing out on the crunchiest and healthiest little snack your money can buy.


5. Grapes
frozen, food,
These frozen grapes are way better than any candy you can buy but quite similar in terms of the delicious sweetness. 
 
 
6. Peanut butter cups
frozen, food,
Whether you make your own, or have always been an admirer of a certain popular brand, peanut butter cups make great frozen treats. The chocolate and peanut butter combine meltingly in your mouth to make an incredible taste sensation that is sure to get you buzzing with energy and enjoyment. 
 
 
7. Strawberries
frozen, food,
Strawberries really benefit from being frozen, because, while their flavor remains, the extra crunchiness makes for an even more enjoyable experience. This is one you've got to try. Plus, it's great that you can keep them in the freezer instead of watching them quickly disintegrate in the fridge. 
 
 
8. Birthday cake
frozen, food, It's hard to believe, but some people really don't like cakes, as they seem too dry to enjoy. Well, if the cake is frozen, this objection vanishes immediately. If you haven't had frozen cake before, you are really missing a great trick. 
 
 
9. Stone fruits
frozen, food,
Why do we even bother buying ice pops when we have all these great fruits at our disposable? So, whether you've managed to get your hands on some bargain, in-season peaches, pears, or whatever, pop them in the freezer for a succulent dream. As they melt, the fruits gently fill your mouth with a sweetness and juiciness that is impossible to resist. 
 
 
10. Pecans
frozen, food,
The extra crunch you get from frozen pecans takes them a step above regular nuts, for some reason they also seem to taste even better too. 
 
 
11. Blueberries
frozen, food,
Blueberries are well known as delightful frozen treats. Have you tried their amazing chilled consistency yet? You'll be blown away by how refreshing they are. 
 
 
12. Mangoes
frozen, food,
You can make some insanely delicious mango ice-cubes when you slice up the large fruit appropriately and store in the freezer. 
 
 
13. Coffee beans
frozen, food,
Coffee beans are renowned for their ability to really give you that great pick-me-up feeling. But, instead of having that drink, have you ever tried eating a few frozen beans? They are just like a crunchy iced-coffee! What a great idea this is!

Do’s and Don’ts of Coffee Storage

True coffee enthusiasts tend to have clear and strong preferences about how they take their coffee, from the best way to prepare it to the most efficient way to store it. It’s the latter we want to talk about today. The way you store your coffee matters a lot. Even the most high-quality bag of beans will end up tasting bitter and stale if the coffee was stored incorrectly. So what can you do to ensure a great-tasting cup of java?

In most cases, choose the cupboard over the freezer 
Ground coffee loses its freshness faster than whole beans because it has more surface area that’s exposed to oxygen. You may have heard that keeping ground coffee or whole beans in the freezer is the best way to preserve the flavor. However, that can actually do more harm than good. According to the National Coffee Association, the best way to store your coffee in an airtight container. Coffee grounds are often sold in tins that aren’t built for long-term storage, so it’s best to transfer the coffee into a canister with an air-tight lid.

What about whole beans? They, too, lose their freshness over time. In fact, the process starts almost as soon as the beans are done roasting, so they could benefit from proper storage as well. If you have a bag of beans, the best way to go would be to secure it and store it in a resealable plastic bag. 


To protect the coffee from light make sure your container is opaque, and store it in a cool spot, like a cupboard that isn’t too close to the stove. Avoid leaving it on a countertop spot that gets a lot of sunlight, because it may be too warm. As we already mentioned, the freezer should be avoided too, at least for the coffee you drink every day. The fluctuating temperatures create moisture in the bag or container, which can leave your morning cup tasting like cardboard. 
 
When to freeze? 
It’s fine to freeze whole beans for up to a month to keep them fresh for later use, provided you don’t take them out during that period. For a larger amount of coffee, first, divide it into smaller portions, then freeze then in airtight bags, as per the recommendation of Robert Nelson, president, and chief executive officer of the National Coffee Association. 
 
When you want to use the frozen beans, let them thaw on the shelf before grinding them. Brew within two weeks to get the most out of your coffee.
