- bloaf 2y agoThis is not at all obvious. Freezing veggies involves washing, cutting, and blanching processes and vegetables may be subjected to ultrasound during freezing to accelerate the process.
- ufo 2y agoNo, those do not count as ultra processed.
- gizmo686 2y agoFruits and vegetables get processed, put into plastic bags, and shipped far away to be consumed 6 months after being produced all the time. None of that makes them ultra processed.
- hinkley 2y agoUltra processed food is foods broken down into base chemicals and stored in vats or boxes like it’s baking soda for years before being turned back into food. Many things we make from corn in particular, and I would probably include commercial orange juice in this as well. I don’t drink the stuff anymore. That’s gross.
