fresh vs frozen vs canned
This is an interesting article about fresh food vs frozen or canned food.
True or false: Fresh Food Is Better Than Frozen or Canned Food
For the lazy, here’s the gist of the article.
The general consensus is that fresh fruits and vegetables are more nutritious than frozen or canned produce. However it seems that it’s not always the case. Since fresh food travels far to get to you whereas canned and frozen foods are processed immediately, the nutritional value may be higher for canned or frozen food. And the canning or freezing process leaves nutritional value intact for the most part.
So what does this mean for us lazy men?
We don’t need to go to the supermarket every other day to buy fresh vegetables and fruits. We can stock up on canned or frozen foods every once in a while, so that we always have what we need in our pantry or freezer. As an added bonus, frozen or canned vegetables are often cheaper than fresh.

Not only is frozen cheaper than fresh, but it will also last longer. Think about it. If you buy fresh vegis and fruits today, you have until a week to consume them. At least frozen food doesn’t get bad.
