ripe veggies vs frozen veggies

[Deleted member 7076]

FRESH
Before you bring it home, it goes through harvesting, processing, packaging, shipping, and then lands in your grocery store. Fresh produce can be days to weeks old, depending on the type of produce and where it was grown, and has lost some nutrients. It’s no longer quite the same as that tree-plucked apple. Since the produce has to make it through all that shipping without rotting, farmers sometimes pick the produce before it is ready, and then shortly before selling them, use ripening sprays made from calcium carbide or synthetic ethylene,1 which cause a reaction that mimics the natural ethylene ripening that produce typically undergoes.

FROZEN
Paradoxically, where frozen produce is concerned, suppliers typically harvest fruits and vegetables when they are perfectly ripe and freeze them immediately after harvesting them. This means that you end up with a product that is frozen in time with its nutrients intact and no need for ripening sprays. They also tend to be less pricey than fresh produce.

I eat a mixture of both. To me, some vegetables like spinach taste very disgusting if cooked.
Salads are optimal so fresh vegetables are pretty good for it especially if you already have a veggie patch in your house.
