vegetables

Question
Could you please tell me the difference, if any, between the nutritional value of canned vegetables vs. freshly cooked vegetables? Thank you very much. Al Brown

Answer
Al-

I cant tell you for sure from brand to brand, BUT in general frozen or canned vegetables generally have more nutritional values then there fresh counterparts. This is due to the fact they are processed very shortly after being harvested. The fresh variety for the most part are picked and then shipped all around the country. The longer they are subject to light and air the more nutrients are striped from them. The only case in which this would not be true is if you were getting your produce from a fresh pick farmers market.
