The convenience of frozen vegetables does come at a small nutritional cost, but fresh vegetables that have been stored at your fridge for a week or in trucks, trains, warehouses or supermarkets for even loner are not at their nutritional peak either. The more produce sits around, the fewer nutrients it contains. From the moment vegetables are picked, enzymes begin breaking down their water-soluble nutrients. While the ideal option is to buy just picked produce from a local stand or farmers market and eat it the same day very few of us have that luxury. Fortunately, frozen vegetables are a sound alternative. Freezing preserves vitamins, minerals and fiber for about eight months so you should eat your vegetables even if they are frozen.
