Here in the southern hemisphere spring has just begun and with that, seasonal fruits. But not everything is happy. In our beloved Buenos Aires it´s not easy to get berries, perhaps in a grocery store some fresh cranberries. Actually, raspberries and blackberries are not easy to be found, but Argentina is a producer of these fruits, but we are also exporters.
The solution to this was the people of Arandanos Argentinos that sell these and other precious fruit in bags of 1 kg and at a great price!. The thing I like is that the fruit is not a big ball of frozen fruit, but separated ones and they keep pretty good form when defrozed and won´t lose much fluid. This is due to IQF freezing, Individual Quick Freezing.
