Detailed explanation-1: -Fruits. When serving frozen fruits for dessert, serve them while there are still a few ice crystals in the fruit. This helps compensate for the mushy texture frozen fruits have when thawed.
Detailed explanation-2: -When frozen foods are covered in snow-like crystals, it’s best to toss them. But if only small amounts of icy deposits are present, scrape them off and get cooking: Just be ready to adjust cooking times and/or add extra seasonings to make up for texture changes and loss of flavor.
Detailed explanation-3: -Small ice crystals are desirable to preserve the texture of fruit. Large ice crystals rupture food cells and cause a soft, mushy texture. Small crystals are formed when food is frozen quickly and kept at a constant storage temperature of 0°F or lower.
