Top 5 in Top 10 misunderstandings about nutrition.
Fresh produce is more appealing to many. It sounds better than "canned" or "frozen" stuff. But "fresh" food doesn't mean it's more nutritious.
Fresh produce is defined as something that "ripens after harvest" (if it ripens during transport) or is "ripened" (harvested and sold when ripe: for example, at an agricultural market, or at a fruit stall on the roadside of farmers).
Frozen produce is usually ripe as a whole before being treated to a minimum before freezing. Most fruits and vegetables will be blanched in hot water for a few minutes before freezing, with the aim of inactivating the enzyme that can cause adverse changes in color, taste and nutritional value.
There are several differences between fresh and frozen foods and certain nutrients found in certain fruits and vegetables. But overall, their nutritional value is similar.
Fact: There may be some nutritional differences between fresh and frozen foods, the overall difference is small. Choose according to your taste, budget and lifestyle.
