@dr.benng: Are Frozen Vegetables Less Nutritious? “Are frozen vegetables actually less healthy than fresh ones?” Hi everyone, I’m Dr Ben, and here’s today’s question. Are frozen vegetables less nutritious? The short answer is: usually no — and sometimes they can even retain nutrients better. Most people assume frozen vegetables are inferior. But vegetables are often frozen very soon after harvesting. That quick freezing helps preserve vitamins. Fresh vegetables, on the other hand, may spend days in transport, storage, and refrigeration before reaching your plate. During that time, some nutrients slowly decline. So in many cases, frozen vegetables and fresh vegetables are nutritionally very similar. And sometimes frozen can even come out ahead. The bigger picture is this. Eating vegetables regularly matters far more than whether they came from the freezer or the market. Convenience often makes healthy choices easier. This may not apply to everyone. So this is how I’d bend it. Frozen vegetables aren’t second-class food — they’re simply vegetables that were frozen early. #drbenng #Endocrinologist #Endocrinedoctor #Hormonedoctor #Medicaldoctor
