Frozen foods have come a long way, yet many people still believe outdated myths about their quality, nutrition, and convenience. Here are some of the biggest misconceptions about frozen meals and how Acres & Oak Kitchen is different!
1. “Frozen Foods Are Unhealthy”
Many assume frozen meals are packed with preservatives and lack nutrition, but freezing is actually a natural way to preserve food without chemicals. Our meals are made with fresh, wholesome ingredients and frozen at peak quality to lock in nutrients and flavor—without the need for artificial additives.
2. “Frozen Meals Don’t Taste Good”
People often think frozen meals are bland or mushy, but modern freezing techniques keep flavors and textures intact. Our 37 ready-to-heat options are designed to taste just as fresh as a home-cooked meal, without the hassle of cooking from scratch.
3. “Frozen Meals Are Expensive”
Many believe frozen meals cost too much, but at Acres & Oak Kitchen, we offer meals as low as $5 per serving, making it a budget-friendly way to eat well. Instead of buying multiple ingredients and spending time meal prepping, you can stock your freezer with a variety of affordable, ready-to-go meals - without worrying about food waste.
4. “Cooking Fresh is Always Better”
While fresh meals are great, not everyone has the time or energy to cook every day. Frozen meals provide the same great nutrition and taste, but with the added convenience of quick preparation - just heat and enjoy, with no prep or cleanup.
5. “Frozen Food is Full of Preservatives”
Freezing itself is a preservative! Unlike refrigerated or shelf-stable meals that may require preservatives to maintain their freshness, frozen meals naturally retain their quality without extra chemicals.
6. “Frozen Foods Lack Variety”
Many people think frozen meals mean eating the same thing over and over, but that’s not true! Our menu includes 37 different ready-to-heat options, offering plenty of choices for every taste and dietary need.
