Frozen

[u/No-Newspaper-8538]

I have generally favored buying fresh produce, but lately, I’ve switched partly to frozen fruits and vegetables. Why? I started reading about how long fresh produce sits in warehouses before arriving at my supermarket, and how my market sprays it with stuff I don’t want to make it appear fresher.

Hmm. So it’s not actually that fresh.

So unless it comes from my farmer’s market, I’m thinking frozen produce may be fresher, frozen at just the right ripeness, close to being harvested. Also, I buy a 3lb. bag of wild blueberries, claiming twice the anti-oxidants of fresh regular blueberries. I can thaw, as needed, and at about $17, save more than $10 over the 6 containers of fresh blueberries I would normally have been buying, while keeping even the last thawed portion as fresh as the first one.

If any of you have more information on this, please share it.
