Eat Groovy Q&A: Are Fresh Fruits & Vegetables Better For You Than Frozen Ones?



Question: Are Fresh Fruits & Vegetables Better For You Than Frozen Ones?

Answer: No need to feel guilty about buying your veggies frozen! According to SuperFoods Rx: Fourteen Foods That Will Change Your Life by Steven Pratt, "Fresh isn't always best. Some canned or frozen vegetables often have the same nutritional content as fresh. Frozen fruits and vegetables are usually flash-frozen just after being harvested, so their nutrients are locked in. Many are available already chopped, which saves you a prep step."
