Solution
- Convenience foods are the products in which a significant portion of food preparation has been transferred from the kitchen to a processing plant.
- The food may be semi-processed and then stored.
- This increases their shelf life and ease of preparation.
- Examples of convenience foods include frozen peas, jams, jellies, canned soups, pickles, ready to make vegetables or ready to make snacks, juices, etc.
- Processed foods like jams, jellies, etc., can be preserved for a longer time by storing them in cool, dry, and dark places.
