Frozen Food
Clarence Birdseye first invented a way of flash freezing food that didn't turn it into mush. In 1927, he applied his method to meats, poultry, fruit and, of course, vegetables. Two years later he sold his patents to a company that eventually became General Foods. Bird Eye Foods is now an independent company headquartered in Rochester, NY. Birdseye himself died of a heart attack 52 years ago.
