Frozen vegetables are at least as
nutritious as fresh vegetables, and may
sometimes actually be healthier. Fresh
vegetables are at their nutritional peak at
the moment they are picked. However,
they often spend days or weeks in
transit, in the produce aisle, and in your
refrigerator. Over time, vegetables lose
vitamins and minerals. However, frozen
vegetables are picked and frozen at
their peak. Freezing locks the vitamins
and minerals in. When you do buy fresh
vegetables, try to pick out ones that
seem fresh and have been grown locally.
