Answer
Purchasing frozen produce can be a nutritious, affordable, and an easy way to increase fruit and veggie consumption. Current research has shown that frozen fruits and veggies are comparable nutritionally to fresh produce and in some instances, offered greater nutritional value to fresh produce. Frozen produce is packaged at peak ripeness compared to fresh produce frequently picked before peak ripeness prior to being transported to the grocer.
