Aro fruit packs

[FlorC]

I think I saw a while ago here on the forum people using those Makro Aro 
frozen fruit packs. 
I buy them too , but it comes from China and nearly all the text on it is in Thai.

Nothing against China , I like and use most of their products , but food is different.
With frozen vegetables , no problem , you always cook them , kills the germs ,

left are some spray on products which are on nearly all Thai produce too.
With fruits it is different , I do them in a blender to get fruity cool drinks.
It raises questions about hygiene and about germs , salmonella , listeria and others.
You can't cook fruits before using them like this , or can you ?
Anybody cook them first?
They have kiwi's , apricots, peaches, all kinds of berry's and more.
Anyone knows what all the writings are on the pack in Thai ?

You live in Thailand which has some of the very best fresh fruit and vegetables in the world and you are using frozen fruit from China?

 

A better question is why?

The frozen fruits at Makro I buy , are non Thai fruits.

Of course I buy fresh mango's , dragonfruits , melons an pineapples at the market.

 

These fruit packs are frozen , easy and quick to use.

No wasting time and effort peelling them , no more garbage of rotten fruits.

And these Aro packs are not that expensive.

Thai fruits are great, when in season.   I buy Makro frozen blueberries, strawberries, as fresh local, if can find, is terrible.  I buy the frozen corn and broccoli (?), just for convenience.

 

The frozen peaches aren't very good, nothing like NJ or GA / USA.

 

TBH, never read where the frozen stuff is sourced.

I buy the frozen vegetables too, it is very convenient, but I cook them so no risk.

It's the frozen fruits that are eaten raw and especially coming from China are a risk.

Where can I find fresh peaches? Been looking for years. Happy to find an expert

I tried the frozen strawberries in Makro but when i saw color disappear with the water when defreezing them it was over for me. Im not sure if they add color to them or what they do but after defreezing they did not have much red color left.

I haven't tried the strawberries but the mixed pack of berries is quite good.

I don't defrost them in water though , just mix it with other fruit in the blender

while still cold. Usually it gets a dark red colour mixed and ready to drink.
