Tag: Fresh vs frozen food

According to the USDA, the freezing process itself does not destroy nutrients in meat and poultry, and research shows that frozen vegetables can sometimes be even more nutrient-dense than fresh varieties that have sat in the fridge for a few days. This busts the common myth that food loses its nutritional value when frozen.

According to a study from the Frozen Food Foundation, many consumers incorrectly believe fresh food has significantly greater nutritional value than its frozen counterpart. This common misconception overlooks key details about harvesting, transportation, and storage that show why frozen foods are often just as healthy, if not more so, than many fresh options.
