REAL FOOD

At Frozen Garden, 'real' isn't just a buzzword. It's a promise. We're talking about whole, unprocessed, garden-fresh ingredients that retain all their natural goodness, flavor, and nutrients. No artificial this or that. Just the good stuff that your body craves and deserves. Think of it as a symphony of nature's best in every single sip or bite.

  • REAL FOOD IS...

    • whole fruits and vegetables, protein-rich legumes, seeds and nuts, and flavorful and aromatic spices
    • transparent and complete ingredient lists
  • REAL FOOD IS NOT...

    • processed powders, supplements and gimmicks
    • artificial and so called "natural" flavors and sweeteners
    • false promises and misleading labels

INGREDIENT SOURCING

At Frozen Garden, being a small business doesn't stop us from maintaining top-notch ingredient quality and supplier standards. By forging strong partnerships with local farmers and suppliers, we're able to keep a close eye on the sourcing process. This hands-on approach allows us to guarantee the freshness and excellence of each ingredient, ensuring that you receive the highest level of quality and service in every Frozen Garden product.

WHAT ABOUT ORGANIC?

Our commitment to organic sourcing aligns with the Environmental Working Group's Dirty Dozen list, ensuring that produce with the highest pesticide levels is either commercially certified organic or grown by our dedicated local farmers, without the use of non-organic pesticides or fertilizers. This includes spinach, kale, apples, pears, strawberries, peaches, and more. For items not listed, like bananas, pineapple, oranges, and lemons, we source most of these conventionally, making our products accessible to a wider audience without compromising on quality.
