7. Frozen poultry, fish, and meat
Since fresh meat, poultry, and fish are extremely perishable it is not a good idea to stock up on them. Fortunately, just like fruits and veggies, their frozen versions offer the exact same nutrients, minerals, and vitamins.
Poultry and meat will stay edible for up to one year in your freezer at 0℉, while fish such as haddock and cod can be kept for five months. If you’re a salmon fan, you can preserve its taste and properties for about nine months in the freezer.
No matter what’s your favorite type of meat, poultry, or fish, having a proper supply will most definitely give you the right amount of protein your body needs to function as it should be.
