Tag: Uncooked fruit

For those following a raw food diet, a food is only considered 'raw' if it has not been heated above 104–118°F (40–48°C). This temperature threshold is the primary distinction for what are considered raw fruits, ensuring they are eaten in a state as close to natural as possible, without significant cooking or processing.

According to the American Frozen Food Institute (AFFI), commercially frozen fruit is considered ready-to-eat directly from the bag. However, the question of 'is it safe to eat frozen fruit without cooking?' involves understanding the specific processing and handling that differentiates it from other frozen produce.
