Fragrant snails are a seafood that can be processed into many diverse dishes, but to freeze effectively, housewives need to refer to a few of the following ways to ensure freshness as well as nutritional value.
Accordingly, the freezing method will help create super-small ice crystals that do not break the snail meat membrane. Thanks to that, after proper thawing, fragrant snails still retain their chewiness, crispness and natural sweetness, completely without being mushy or bland in flesh.
The deep freezing process also helps inhibit the growth of bacteria and breakdown enzymes. Precious nutrients in snails such as: protein, B vitamins and minerals are kept intact with high nutritional content.
If fresh snails can only last for 1 to 3 days, frozen fragrant snails allow safe storage for 3 to 6 months. This helps housewives to be proactive in storing for gradual use. Subdividing the frozen portion also helps conveniently when preparing dishes.
Before freezing, fragrant snails need to be thoroughly pre-processed such as soaking and rinsing off mud, washing and steaming briefly before storing in a freezer to ensure user health safety.
