Don’t Be Afraid of Frozen Produce
30 Nov 2020
Wouldn’t it be lovely if we all lived in climates where fresh fruits and vegetables were abundant year round? For those of us with harsh winter climates, it is difficult to get the produce we love during the cold season. People shy away from frozen fruits and vegetables but these are actually a great way to get nutrients off-season. Frozen produce is picked at peak ripeness and flash frozen so their nutrients are maintained. In many cases, this is better than fresh produce which is picked prematurely so it ripens at the store later. With so many varieties available, it is easy to incorporate frozen produce into your diet when needed.
Don’t be scared of the frozen aisle of the grocery store. Combined with winter produce (squash, kale, carrots etc.), frozen options are a great addition to a healthy kitchen.
