Are frozen vegetables nutritious, or should I only eat fresh veggies? As a dietitian, I personally love frozen veggies because they are much more convenient. Often, fresh veggies tend to go bad in the bottom drawer of our fridge. The good news is that frozen veggies can actually contain more vitamins and minerals than fresh ones. This is because fresh veggies may lose some of their nutrients during transportation and storage. On the other hand, when vegetables are picked and immediately frozen, the vitamins and minerals are preserved. So, when you cook frozen veggies, they can potentially have more nutrition than fresh ones. Both options are good, but don't hesitate to include frozen vegetables in your diet, as they can be just as nutritious, if not more so, than fresh vegetables.
