Frozen Fruit
Freezing food is one form of preserving your nutritious food items so that you have them available all year round. In fact, Research suggests that fruits and vegetables begin to lose valuable nutrients – particularly vitamins – immediately after harvesting. Movement of produce through the supply chain from field to grocery can take several days and perhaps longer for some specialty items. Thus, once the consumer has purchased fresh produce at the grocery, wholesale, convenience or club store, a substantial loss of some nutrients may have occurred. Furthermore, several more days may lapse between the time the produce is purchased and the time it is actually consumed, potentially leading to additional nutrient loss.
In contrast, produce intended for commercial freezing is processed within hours of harvesting. Although a loss of some nutrients may occur as a result of processing, research indicates these losses may be minimal. In fact, after freezing, fruits and vegetables generally remain good or excellent sources of the particular nutrients they contain before harvesting.
Frozen fruits, such as blueberries, strawberries and peaches are available unsweetened. These work great when making cold, blended fruit drinks. Frozen vegetables allow you to prepare the perfect portions that you need. Fresh fruits and vegetables are still a nutritious option. If you purchase fresh produce in season, then it will probably be high in nutrition and flavour. Otherwise, consider purchasing frozen produce to fit in a variety of fruits and vegetables conveniently, so that you can consume a balanced diet.
