Why Buy Frozen Fruits and Veggies

March is the month is often a month where there is little freshly harvested. This means that the best fruits and veggies can be found in the freezer section of the grocery store. Many of the frozen selections are all ready prepared and ready to use or cook as is. This means that using fruits and vegetables from the freezer are time savers as well. With no prep, no cleaning and no cutting needed. In addition you can find the flavor you are looking for whether it is salt free or with an added flavor.

Top reasons that frozen fruit and veggies should be on the grocery list:

• freezing pauses just picked, just baked and just crafted foods keeping them at the peak of freshness and locking in their flavor and nutrients
• freezing is a natural way to keep food safe by preventing microorganisms from growing and slows down the enzyme activity that causes spoilage. 
•  Boiling or steaming some veggies may actually boost levels of nutrients
