Origin[]
Clarence Birdseye became interested in food preservation when he learned from Inuits how to catch frozen fish, which tasted fresh from the cold. He saw the application to seafood and produce, creating a new preservation system where food was frozen quickly, under pressure. Although his first company bankrupted, Birdseye rebounded, applied for freezing technology patents and created a now successful company bearing his name.
