the length of time required to transport
the product from the shop to your
home. Always follow the instructions

shelf’s greater freezing power. Fast

watercress, vinegar, assorted spices,
ginger, garlic, onion, mustard, thyme,

they are stored for a long period of
time. Therefore, add small amounts
of spices to food to be frozen, or the
desired spice should be added after
the food has thawed.
• The storage time of food is dependent
on the type of oil used. Suitable oils
are margarine, calf fat, olive oil and
