Frozen vegetables are just as nutritious as fresh vegetables


Many people believe that frozen and canned vegetables contain fewer vitamins and minerals than their fresh counterparts. But experts say that vegetables that are picked and immediately flash frozen or canned can have the same nutritional value as fresh vegetables. That's because many fresh vegetables are shipped long distances in the heat and cold, where they can lose vitamins and minerals before they make it to the grocery store shelves.
