Vitamin Content in Frozen Vegetables

Is it true that frozen vegetables contain more vitamins than fresh ones from the supermarket?

Vitamins are sensitive to light and heat. For example, if vegetables are left in the sun for a long time at the weekly market, valuable vitamins are lost. The same applies to supermarkets, which present their range of fruit and vegetables in front of the store.

Frozen vegetables, on the other hand, are processed and frozen immediately after harvesting. The vitamin loss is therefore very low. For this reason, the vitamin content in frozen vegetables and fruit can be higher than in fresh.

Vegetables are an important part of a healthy diet. It is advisable to eat as varied a diet as possible. So feel free to reach for fresh, frozen or even preserved vegetables.
