FRESH VS FROZEN VEGETABLES & FRUIT

There is a common misconception that buying “fresh” vegetables is better for you than frozen/canned.

Frozen/Canned vegetables are picked when they are ripe and then processed expediently.

“Fresh” fruit and vegetables are generally picked before they are ripe. They are then boxed and loaded onto trucks for shipment. It can take weeks sometimes for shipments to reach their destination, and by this time most of the valuable nutrients have been leeched from the product.

It is good to eat fresh fruits and vegetables, but just remember when cooking, frozen or canned is not always bad.
