myth: new vegetables are more nutritious than frozen or canned.

truth: in the greatest degree "fresh" vegetables are trucked great distances and stored for protracted periods. Modern freezing processes, however, are performed with equal reason quickly that there's little time for nutrient los Canned feed isn't bad either. Half-ripe fruits ripen en way to market. So fully ripe fruits are canned--otherwise they'd advance bad before arriving at the store.

Canned fruits are highly nutritious to start with and, one time sealed, cans permit little deterioration, on a level after six months. That's not to say you should skip the bring into view section. Fresh, organic fruits and vegetables are still a healthy option.
