  Nutrition Nugget: Frozen Vegetables

  Aug 21, 20269 min

  Nutrition Nugget! Bite-sized bonus episodes offer tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn is talking about frozen vegetables. With a summer Cyclospora scare putting salad greens on trial, is the humble freezer aisle the safer, smarter choice? Jenn breaks down exactly how frozen veggies are harvested, blanched, and locked in at peak nutrition, and whether that process really does more to protect you than your fresh produce drawer. She also tackles the critics head-on: are frozen vegetables "processed," do they lose flavor and texture, and is fresh really always more nutritious? The catch is in how you cook them, and one wrong move could turn a nutrient-packed shortcut into a mushy, flavorless mistake. Jenn weighs both sides before landing on her verdict about whether frozen vegetables a permanent spot in your healthy eating routine. Like what you're hearing?
