Frozen food

We had to freeze a couple of portions of home made chicken curry the other week. When we had this for dinner the other night, we noticed the seasoning needed tinkering with. So we added some more salt. This brought out the flavour and the spicy heat. When we first made the curry, it tasted great with the usual amount of seasoning, but after defrosting, it seemed to taste a bit bland.

This could explain why processed frozen food contains so much salt? Maybe something happens during the freezing process that alters the way salt balances the meal?

I'm quite interested in the salt content of foods, as I found that if I didn't have enough I was craving it - in another form....crisps! Seasoning food is therefore a priority for me now. During the last 7 months, eating the way we do, we've found our body can dictate what it wants us to eat. So the next time you think you might fancy a certain food/meal, think about why that might be.
