About (Profile/Biography):
Clarence Birdseye, a well-known American businessman and inventor was born in New York. Birdseye was a naturalist, inventor, and businessman.

Clarence Birdseye Career:
In 1912, Birdseye set off on a 5 fur-trading journey along Canada's Labrador Peninsula.
He was fascinated by their rapid freeze method, which required ice, wind, and frigid temperatures to freeze newly caught fish quickly.
The quick freezing procedure raised questions in Birdseye's scientific mind about how it would affect other items, such as fresh vegetables. He started experimenting with food freezing at this time and ultimately decided to start a business with the knowledge he had gained.
In 1910 and 1911, he also collaborated with entomology Willard Von Orsdel King.
Because there was no demand for the goods, his company filed for bankruptcy in 1924. He created a brand-new technique for economically sensible quick-freezing that same year.
Clarence Birdseye Achievements and Awards:
The frozen products were distributed across the country by train using refrigerated boxcars that Birdseye's business started renting in 1944.
Birdseye is now focused on marketing. In 1930, he researched refrigerated grocery display cabinets, and in 1934, he established a joint venture to produce them.
