DO you eat frozen, fresh, or canned, VEggies? AND WHY?
Answers:
frozen or fresh, the only vegie I'll eat out of a can is green beans.....Canned corn, peas, carrots etc, taste like crap.
fresh
Canned easier access
Frozen. They keep, and can be cooked without preparation in the microwave in less than three minutes. I am a lazy SOB.
Fresh cause they taste the best.
I've had frozen, fresh and canned but I eat fresh vegetables because that's how I was raised. My mom made everything fresh and everything home made.
I sometimes buy canned corn and use canned tomato paste when making spaghetti sauce. The rest I buy fresh in the market or pick myself in the garden.
I don't buy frozen vegetables because they just aren't available where I live now.
Still, I'd prefer frozen corn over canned corn, and I like the bags of frozen veggies like Baby Lima beans, etc... Be careful you don't find a migrant worker's finger in them.
FRESH! Or frozen if something's out of season or I can't find it at the market. Canned usually has a lot of salt and canned veggies just seem...lifeless.
Your local farmers market is the best place to get your produce (besides growing your own). You can ask right there if the stuff you're buying is pesticide-free (not everyone can afford to be CERTIFIED organic). I'll never buy the bulk of my produce at a grocery store again. Not even Henry's (which has a pitiful organic section).
Hooray for produce!
Eighty percent of our food is fresh .When we do buy extra chicken or meat it is put away in the freezer.Frozen food very little. We do use canned tomatoes and sea chicken.Here in Japan we do not do bulk shopping.We shop for a meal or two . The supermarkets are full of fresh products.
yes,,because if there fresh,,very good tasting and i have to watch my figure ????? lol...
Mostly frozen because they last longer than fresh. But I do like to eat fresh veggies. I don't really like canned veggies all that much, though I will eat them if I have no other choice.The vitamins are all in the juice.
depends on the vegies, spinach is better fresh or frozen, green beans are better canned, corn is better fresh, it just depends some vegies dont lose as much flavor when canned as others.
I like most of my veggies fresh. Sometimes I eat frozen, but only corn and peas, they rest seem to always come out to soft and mushy.
steamfresh veggies from birdseye the best nuke and serve
Fresh,it takes aliitle bit longer for frozen to cook and alot of canned vegetables have alot of added sodium.
I prefer fresh, I eat frozen because it is convenient, and I will settle for canned when there are no other options.
I eat fresh and the odd bag of frozen if the recipe allows for such a thing (otherwise frozen are difficult to cook without the result being a load of mush)
Canned for things like beans OK, but most of them have been boiled to death until there is no nutrition left. Oh except for loads of salt.
Cans are also heavy and I dont have a car
I eat all of the above. I am a vegetarian and do not like to be limited to eating seasonal food. But I have the advantage of having gone to cooking school. I am able to prepare foods for freezing and do my own canning also. I feel if your going to be a veg or a vegan then you should probably learn these skills... But that's just me. So in some sense everything I eat is fresh.
I use frozen vegetables mostly, followed by fresh. When you buy fresh vegetables in the supermarket, they have been picked for at least several days if not more (unless it is local produce, of course). When you buy frozen vegetables, they have been cleaned and frozen usually within a few hours of being picked. They generally contain the most nutrients. For vegetables that are going to be heated and eaten, frozen makes a lot of sense. If you're going to eat them raw, fresh is the way to go! In my experience, some vegetables just don't seem to freeze as well and are suitable only as ingredients in larger dishes. I prefer fresh carrots to frozen, for example.
all 3. depends on how much time willing to make them
I almost always eat fresh vegetables because I just assumed that would be the healthiest type of vegetable to eat. However, I recently learned that frozen veggies tend to be healthier because they are picked and frozen at the peak of their ripeness. If you buy fresh veggies at the store, they've been off the vine for a long time already (being sorted, driven to the store, etc.). Now I plan to eat more frozen vegetables.
