^^ Don't tell me -- it "feels" like fresh fruits and vegetables should be better, so "no doubt" it is true.

No, that is wrong.

In contrast, frozen veggies are frozen at their peak of ripeness, meaning they lock in most of their vitamins and minerals. [b]There’s a common misconception that frozen veggies are less healthy because they’re “processed.” However, freezing vegetables actually helps maintain their nutritional value. [/b]

Similar to frozen veggies, canned vegetables undergo a simple process to preserve them. They are picked at their peak of freshness, cleaned and cut, quickly heated in boiling water, packed in a can with a liquid such as water or juice, sealed, and then boiled and cooled to prevent spoilage. This allows them to remain shelf-stable for up to five years! [b]Unfortunately, canned options are often the most stigmatized form of veggies due to circulating myths that they are somehow void of nutrients.[/b] In reality, the canning process has a negligible effect on the minerals, fiber, and vitamin A, E, and K vitamin content of veggies. While some vitamins such as B and C may be reduced, many canned veggies are still rich in these nutrients. Beyond just maintaining nutritional value, canned veggies even boast a unique benefit! [b]Because canned veggies are exposed to heat during processing, certain antioxidants in the veggies [u]actually become more available for our bodies to use.[/u][/b] A fantastic example of this is canned tomatoes that become rich in lycopene, an antioxidant linked to protection against heart disease and some cancers.
