Amidst the chaos of balancing work, family, and social commitments, the luxury of leisurely meal preparation slips further from our grasp. Yet, in the face of this relentless pace, emerges a saviour ‘Frozen Food’ promising both convenience and culinary satisfaction. But beneath the veneer of quick fixes lies a pressing question: Can these time-saving solutions truly nourish our bodies?
