Are canned vegetables and fruit less nutritious than fresh?
Canada’s Food Guide to Healthy Eating suggests consuming vegetables and fruit from a variety of sources, including fresh, frozen and canned. Canned and frozen vegetables and fruits provide the same variety of essential vitamins and minerals as fresh produce and are less expensive. Having canned and frozen vegetables and fruit on hand can be convenient as it’s sometimes difficult to keep a supply of fresh vegetables and fruit in the refrigerator.
