Both fresh and frozen foods have their place in your kitchen—but knowing when to choose which can help you save money, reduce waste, and make smarter grocery decisions. Here’s a breakdown to help you shop more confidently at Sabsiwala.
When to Buy Fresh:
Fresh ingredients are ideal when:
- Texture matters (e.g., for salads, sandwiches, or raw dishes)
- You’re cooking within a few days
- You want maximum nutrients in leafy greens or herbs
Best bought fresh:
- Spinach, mint, coriander
- Tomatoes, cucumber, onions
- Fruits like pomegranate, apples, bananas
- Fresh dairy, breads, eggs
Sabsiwala Tip: Buy seasonal and local produce—it’s fresher, cheaper, and more flavorful.
When to Choose Frozen:
Frozen is a smart option when:
- You want to stock up without spoilage
- You need pre-cleaned, pre-cut convenience
- The item is out of season or unavailable fresh
Best bought frozen:
- Peas, corn, berries
- Frozen parathas, meats, snacks
- Ready-to-cook meals or mixed vegetables
Sabsiwala Tip: Frozen items are flash-frozen at peak freshness—so they often retain nutrients better than older “fresh” ones on the shelf.
The Smart Approach? Mix Both!
Use fresh for immediate meals and frozen for backup. This way, your fridge is ready for both planned recipes and surprise cravings—without waste.
