Detailed explanation-1: -Processed foods are easy to get, as they are available in all seasons and at all stores. Processed foods like pre-cut vegetables and meat are quality convenience foods for busy people and for those who can’t visit a faraway market to buy vegetables and meat.
Detailed explanation-2: -Processing by certain methods like pasteurization, cooking, and drying can destroy or inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria. Additives such as emulsifiers preserve the texture of foods, such as preventing peanut butter from separating into solid and liquid parts.
Detailed explanation-3: -Processed foods can make people’s lives easier. Prepackaged foods can reduce meal preparation time. A quick meal can be thrown together using these items rather than ordering out. Food processing extends the shelf life of food which means that food lasts longer with less waste due to spoilage.
