Buy These 5 Vegetables Frozen and Save Time and Money

As much as I love walking over to my neighborhood farmers market every week and packing my tote bags with a colorful array of produce, I am not above the freezer aisle. In fact, I might argue the freezer aisle at your go-to grocery store is just as much of a treasure trove of produce. All frozen produce is flash-frozen at the peak of ripeness, which ensures it&#;s as nutritionally dense as possible. Plus, it&#;s much more affordable than buying fresh, which can make all the difference, especially in our current world of inflated prices.

Not all frozen vegetables are created equally, however. While they are all budget-friendly and wholesome (so long as you buy frozen vegetables that aren&#;t in a sauce or overly seasoned), some are especially worth their weight in gold. In fact, there are a few vegetables that I almost exclusively buy frozen because of just how exceptionally useful they are in the kitchen. Here are the 5 best vegetables to buy frozen.

Eating healthy isn&#;t always easy. Eating a diet rich in vegetables helps provide the necessary vitamins and minerals to keep our bodies healthy, but doing so can be difficult when vegetables are expensive, out of season, or quick to spoil in the fridge. To combat this, many experts recommend using frozen vegetables instead, which can actually provide higher levels of nutrients than fresh vegetables.

Why Choose Frozen Vegetables?

Once a vegetable is picked, it begins to lose nutrients, according to Cassandra Burke, RDN. Since frozen vegetables are flash-frozen at peak ripeness, this locks in the vitamins and minerals at their best, stopping the breakdown of nutrients. Vegetables also go through processing, storage, and transportation, meaning that by the time they reach the grocery store or home kitchen, the quality of nutrients remaining may have been impacted. 

As an added bonus to the nutrient-rich nature of frozen vegetables, browsing the freezer aisle is also a convenient way to grocery shop in a budget-friendly way, since frozen vegetables are often less expensive, especially if your veggie of choice is out of season. Burke also notes that frozen vegetables have a much longer shelf life, meaning they won&#;t go bad as quickly as their fresh counterparts. These pre-packaged vegetables have already been cleaned and prepped, making them conveniently ready to cook, straight out of the freezer.
