Frozen Vegetables

Dietary vegetables are critical to human health.

One problem is that store bought vegetables lose nutrients with time, and because of shipping and storage, they are often depleted of nutrients.

It has been documented that frozen vegetables have a high nutritional content because they are flash frozen when the vegetables are fresh.

Locally obtained vegetables are also more nutritious, such as those obtained from a CSA or farmer's market.

However, frozen vegetables are convenient because of their ease of preparation. They can be rapidly steamed or boiled, and avoiding frying vegetables in oil (even healthy oil) is better for health.
