Frozen vege are a life safer for me and it's not because they have similar or more nutrients it's also the ease of use. You can just buy a bag of mixed, pre-cut vegetables and save so much time during cooking prep which during the weekdays after work means the difference between one or two vegies or 5+ in my meals.

@zyeet3243 Год назад

Excuses for laziness. Veg prep is 5 minutes for a whole family. You just value your TV program more than your health.

Some nutrients do degrade over time from farm to table so freezing can help preserve. But testing vitamin C as the only indicator of "healthy" doesn't give us information about total nutrient density or account for cooking methods and further preservation or degradation before it even has a chance to be absorbed by our body. Once vitamins are actually in our body then we can also talk about utilization and things like Vitamin C being a drop in the bucket for an overall day or week of food consumption that also contain or is supplemented with vitamin C. I love food science though :)

@MrMasterDebate 3 года назад

While this is true, if something is losing vitamin C, there is no reason to think other nutrients are not going down

@jaybee2402 2 года назад

@@MrMasterDebate But do they degrade at similar rates? Also, do the heavier or more solid foods lose nutrients more slowly than the lighter, higher water content foods?

@user-vm6oz6wt5g Год назад

I randomly decided to search the nutrition of frozen vs fresh and I can say that this is the exact OPPOSITE of what I thought the results would be. That being said I genuinely get pretty fresh vegetables and I eat them all the time. For convenience I use frozen peas and carrots for quick meals. Good to know it’s still actually healthy and debatably healthier.

Most of the "fresh" where imported hence the lower nutritional value. Go for fresh and local anytime.

I like the video but I think additional studies are necessary. They are testing for vitamin C which is essential but not the only thing the body needs: fiber, vitamin d, zinc, potassium, magnesium, etc. For example, they will find more fiber in fresh food than frozen.

@aaravmysuru3385 Год назад

They claim that vit C n B are water soluble. If u flash freez upon timely harvesting they start in.

@tsamt4889 10 месяцев назад

I was thinking exactly the same. Vitamin C will deplete drastically during the cooking process (doubt many will eat frozen veg without cooking first) so this information is not as useful as it doesn't cover the other vitamins which are also important to our maintain our health.

Well if we're talking about nutrients then the best option would be to prepare a smoothly with carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Add a few pills with vitamins and minerals, freeze it, and you're good to go. Tasty eh! Speaking flavors: fresh = good, elevate with cooking. Frozen = garbage, not worth the trouble.

There are more vitamins and minerals in veg than vitamin c if your not going to measure them all what’s the point? Also your not taking into account texture & taste, frozen onions have virtually no flavour and aroma and a lot of frozen veg like broccoli, cauliflower and sprouts go mushy when cooked from frozen. That being said there are a lot of veg that has virtually no difference in taste or texture like peas & spinach (as long as your cooking it)

They didn't measure all the nutrients probably because doing all the different tests would cost a lot of money. Frozen spinach is as tasteless as they come.

Not really, fruits and vegetables we eat are man made anyway, through hundreds of years of breeding and cultivating. Almost none of the fruit, vegetables, wheat, corn, rice we eat exists in nature. A company growing it out of season in a greenhouse is no more unnatural.

@lindseyd4563 3 года назад

No. Most all veg can be eaten raw. I think potatoes and kidney beans are pretty much it on the toxic if raw front. Sometimes it's good to cook (spinach has more iron if cooked, so great if you're anemic, but it loses vit c and all b vits) but most times plants lose water soluble nutrients and fiber if cooked, so go for raw. Caveat: soak seeds and nuts in liquid to make them more bioavailable.
