Are fresh fruits and vegetables more nutritious than frozen, canned, or dried?
Not really. Most frozen, canned, and dried fruits or vegetables can be as nutritious as fresh produce. The frozen and canned versions are usually processed quickly using fresh-picked produce. To maximize vitamin content, use little water in preparation. Eating fruits and vegetables in a variety of forms will ensure a balance of important nutrients. When choosing frozen, canned, or dried versions, try to choose products without added sauces, sodium, or sugars.
