Practical, inexpensive, time-saving, long-lasting...
these are just some benefits of frozen fruits and veggies. However, it's an unfortunate truth that frozen food has a bad rap! So, what's the reality? Most of the frozen fruits and veggies are frozen rightly after they have been harvested. As such they tend to retain all their nutritional value, whereas, fresh food needs to be consumed in a short while after the harvest. Freezing preserves food, no unwanted additives are needed in bags of frozen goodies, like spinach and strawberries. According to a food scientist at UC-Davis’ Cooperative Extension, frozen fruits and vegetables generally have less pesticide residue than fresh conventional produce. Moreover, scientists from Leatherhead Food Research and the University of Chester found there being more beneficial nutrients in frozen food. Because frozen food is prep-free, it can save you a ton of time allowing you to make healthy dishes at home.
