Frozen, Fresh, or Canned? Choosing the Best for Your Health & Budget

 

March is Frozen Foods Month, making it the perfect time to talk about one of the most underrated food choices! Many people assume fresh is always best, but did you know that frozen fruits and vegetables can actually be more nutritious than fresh? In this episode, I’m breaking down the nutrient retention of fresh, frozen, and canned foods, plus how to make the best choices for your health and budget.
