Are frozen vegetables as healthy as fresh vegetables?

[Evelyn]

Many ask if frozen vegetables are as nutritious as fresh vegetables. This question can be a positive way to compare frozen and fresh produce. Members are able to talk about the nutrient value, storage, cooking method, cost and the taste of either and which one would be more suitable for busy families or meal planning for the day.

Yes, frozen vegetables are often just as healthy as fresh vegetables. They are usually frozen soon after harvesting, which helps preserve most of their vitamins, minerals, and nutrients. In some cases, frozen vegetables may even retain nutrients better than fresh produce stored for several days.
