Feast products are washed, cleaned and graded, then frozen and ready to use.
Freezing food is the process of freezing the cell juice along with the ingredients that make up the food, without breaking the nuclear membrane, using the IQF (Individual Quick Freezing) method.
Since the IQF process prevents the growth and multiplication of microorganisms at temperatures down to -18°C, freezing food without the use of additives is sufficient to stop bacterial activity in food.
The purpose of freezing food is to completely prevent the growth of microorganisms in food and to preserve the nutritional value, first day freshness and nutritional value of the product from the raw material to the consumer.

Our products, which are harvested when fully ripe, are grown in natural conditions under the control of our contract farmers and Özgörkey Agricultural Engineers. Therefore, our fruits and vegetables do not contain pesticide residues, hormones and GMOs. Vegetables arrive at our factory within hours of being harvested, are graded using modern methods, thoroughly washed and cleaned, and frozen at -40 degrees using IQF technology. This ensures the highest level of freshness and nutritional value from field to fork.
Our vegetable products contain no additives. Because the cell juice of our vegetables is frozen at -40 degrees, the cell structure freezes intact and remains as fresh as the first day.

To summarize the importance of frozen foods in the sector of the future,
Vegetables and fruits are frozen immediately after harvesting under hygienic conditions using advanced technology with minimal loss of all nutritional values, so they do not lose their freshness, contrary to popular belief.
It saves the trouble of sorting and washing, with ease of use.
Frozen products are fresh on your table for four seasons.
When you buy frozen food, you pay for the ready-to-cook product. In short, no price is paid for parts such as stems, shells and seeds.
Thanks to the hygiene standards controlled during harvesting, production and distribution, the possibility of pre-cooking contamination (spoilage) is very low in frozen food, which has a short journey from the freezer to the pot. With the right storage conditions, frozen foods can stay fresh for a very long time.
Feast frozen foods make life easier for consumers from all walks of life and provide safe options with useful label information on the package.

We do not recommend refreezing thawed products. This is because the freezing process stops the activity of microorganisms in food that cause spoilage and decay. However, if frozen foods are not stored for the time and at the cold temperature recommended on their packaging, the microorganisms in them will be reactivated. Therefore, products that are frozen after thawing lose their nutritional value.
Frozen foods should be cooked immediately without waiting for them to thaw. We recommend cooking according to the recipe on the package.
