The genius of food that can be naturally thawed

In Japan, frozen food is often used for bento boxes. And manufacturers around the country have cashed in on food that can be "naturally thawed". That is, food that does not need to be put in the microwave to defrost it, but thaws naturally in a bento box. It is a simple, yet genius idea that saves people time in the morning.

Supposedly, the juice of acerola was the key. By adding the juice of acerola to products it vastly reduces the risk of food poisoning from foods that are not heated or left to thaw for a long time. Nichirei, a major Japanese manufacturer, are recognized for the discovery. They researched long and hard to develop food that could be naturally thawed specifically with the aim of reducing work for the bento maker in the household.

Do you use frozen food that thaws naturally in your bento? My husband is the bento maker in my house and he often uses karaage that defrosts naturally. It is very convenient, and tastes good too!
