Bonduelle frozen vegetables

Hello !

Today, I'm going to explain how we prepare our frozen Bonduelle vegetables.

We'll be looking at peas as an example.

This is my kitchen. Behind you, yes, turn around !

We are in our Bonduelle factory.

Alright. Everyone settled ?

Then let's get started !

It all starts in the fields of our partner farmers, who plant and grow the vegetables.

When harvest times comes, this huge machine,

automatically separates the peas from their shells,

directly in the field !

Once they are harvested, the vegetables are delivered by truck to our factory.

Where they are received by our certified agents.

The vegetables undergo several quality controls troughout the preparation process

to verify their taste, size and stage of ripeness.

As you can see,

our products are selected to ensure you only have the very best on your plate !

Since we don't waste here at Bonduelle,

the vegetables that don't pass inspection will be used in other ways, such as for animal feed, for example.

Next, the peas are separated from any remaining leaves and shells using pressurized air.

As a final step, and to remove any foreign materials,

such as dirt, dust and insects that come from the fields,

our vegetables are washed with pure water in a stream of cold, running water.

Let's go !

Time for a bath !

The next step is to calibrate the peas.

They are separated by size using perforated cylinders.

The largest peas are categorized as small, followed by very small and extra small for the smallest peas.

The peas are then dipped in very hot water or steamed

for a few minutes to preserve their qualities, such as color and texture.

This is called blanching !

Alright ! Now it's time to freeze our vegetables.

To preserve as many of their natural qualities as possible, the peas are sent

through a freeze tunnel that blows -30°C (-22°F) air !

Over the reach the center of the product in just a few minutes.

They are then stored troughout the year in warehouses at -18 C° (-0.4°F)

Depending on orders from distributors,

the vegetables are weighed and placed in hermetically sealed packets.

They are then sent to stores on refrigerated trucks.

You can find them in the frozen food section, where they are ready to be added to your dishes at home !

What is the MACC? - Duration: 2:30.

Hi, we are here to talk about The MACC. Laura, what is The MACC? The MACC is

The Malta Arts and Culture Club and it's a new app for people in Malta which will

launch in 2018. That sounds interesting, but by app, do you mean

something like Facebook or LinkedIn, something similar? Yes exactly, so

it's a cross between Facebook and LinkedIn actually because you can use it

for networking purposes or socially. But can you download it on to your phone?

Yes, in fact you'll be able to log in using your Facebook account. That's great.

So is this a free app? Yes, everything I just mentioned is free. However there's more.

If you become a paid member then you access the benefits scheme.

Ok, but what kind of benefits do you mean? So, benefits are arts and culture-related, so it could be

on products, like art supplies, materials, books, musical instruments, things like

this, camera equipment, or it could be services like photography, videography,

printing, framing, even hiring of musicians, but also cultural attractions,

like heritage sites, events, concerts, festivals, this kind of thing.

But also deals and offers on the creative courses, so you might be

interested in learning how to play an instrument, or in writing, or art for

example, painting. Why would people

want to download the app? What is inside, what can I find there?

Well, two reasons. First of all for the 'What's On Guide', so you'll be

able to check out what's going on in Malta.

Everything from exhibitions, to concerts, theatre, things to do in your spare time.

But also for networking. So you can actually identify your areas of interest,

this could be art or music or theatre, cinema, books, you know, dance, this

kind of thing, and this will automatically connect you to people who

are interested in the same things, so you can find

like-minded people, but also if you're a professional, find people to work with

within the creative industries. Is this just for artists or, who is it for?

So, this is for anyone and everyone in Malta who is interested in all of these

things and also who wants to be part of a creative community.
