Fresh Or Frozen?

The confusion is still on! What carries more nutrients-fresh fruits and vegetables or the frozen ones? Here's the answer...

The fact that fresh fruits and vegetables tend to taste better and have more nutritional value than frozen or canned can't be ignored. But that's not always the case. Fresh is best when it's farm-fresh and ripe. However, many commercial fruits and veggies are picked before their peak ripeness which also means before their nutritional peak to avoid spoilage during transport and storage. And just a few days after harvest, fruits and vegetables begin to lose some of their nutritive goodness. What's more, the longer they sit on the shelf during transport, in the supermarket, and in your fridge the fewer nutrients they have left to pass on to you.
On the other hand, fruits and vegetables intended for freezing are usually picked closer to the peak of ripeness and are flash-frozen immediately after harvest. The processing does deplete some nutrients, but it locks in the rest for up to 12 months. So in some instances, frozen fruits and vegetables may actually have more of the vitamins and minerals for your body needs.
