The purest form of frozen fruit contains only one ingredient: the fruit itself. Some varieties may contain added sugars or syrups, so always check the packaging. If you're looking for pure fruit, choose a product that lists 100% fruit in its ingredients.
Think about what you'll primarily be using the fruit for.
For those who prioritise organic sourcing, organic frozen fruit is also available. This fruit is grown without the use of synthetic pesticides and artificial fertilisers. You can identify these products by the European organic label (the green leaf) on the packaging.

Fruit destined for the freezer is typically frozen immediately after harvesting at peak ripeness. This process, known as IQF (Individually Quick Frozen), ensures that a large portion of the vitamins and minerals are preserved. As a result, its nutritional value is comparable to that of fresh fruit.
It depends on the preparation. For a cold smoothie or shake, the frozen fruit can go straight from the freezer into the blender. For use in yoghurt, quark, or as a garnish, it's best to let the fruit thaw for a few hours in the refrigerator first. For warm dishes, like a sauce or in a cake, the fruit can often be added while still frozen.
