in China around 2000 BC. In another popular
story, the Italian traveler Marco Polo (1254-1324)
saw ice creams being made during his trip
to China, and on his return, he introduced
it to Italy and the Italian chefs taken this
magical dish to France in 1533. There is no
historical evidence to support any of these
stories.

Early production
methods were placing the ingredients in a
metal container, surrounded by a freezing
mixture of ice and coarse salt, and mixing
them until smooth.
In modern plants the basic ingredients are
poured into a tank, mixed and pasteurized.
The mixture is then further cooled, piped
to a freezing tank, and beaten until smooth
and add nuts or fruits. Also add different
flavors and permitted colours and then packed
into the containers that are stored in a refrigerated
room until hard.
In USA 90% of
the nation's population recognized ice cream
as a fun and nutritious food. Besides tasting
good it contains vitamins A, riboflavin (B2)
and B12, calcium and its protein level is
almost similar to milk.
In 1984, President Reagan called for all people
of the United States to observe July as National
Ice Cream Month and the third Sunday of the
month as National Ice Cream Day with "appropriate
ceremonies and activities."
