Most of us head to the market early in the morning, believing that “fresh is always healthier.” 🌿

But here’s a surprising truth: frozen vegetables can be just as healthy — and sometimes even more nutritious — than fresh ones.

🥦 The Science Behind Frozen Veggies

Frozen vegetables are usually harvested at their peak ripeness — the moment when they’re richest in vitamins and minerals. Within hours, they’re flash-frozen, locking in those nutrients.

Now compare that to “fresh” vegetables:

• They’re often picked before full ripeness (so they survive transport).
• They spend days in transit and more time on store shelves.
• Finally, they sit in our refrigerators until we cook them.

By the time they reach our plates, water-soluble nutrients like Vitamin C and B-complex may already have significantly declined.

📊 What Studies Show

Research has found that frozen vegetables like spinach, peas, and broccoli can sometimes contain higher nutrient levels than fresh produce — especially if the fresh veggies have been stored for over a week.

So, freshness isn’t always about the date of harvest — it’s about nutrient preservation.

⚠️ What to Watch Out For

Not all frozen vegetables are equal. When buying:
Choose plain frozen vegetables with no added sauces, salt, or preservatives.
Avoid pre-seasoned or ready-to-eat frozen packs, which can be high in sodium and additives.
