It does not really matter which one is used, because both hold the same nutritional value. Frozen is just as healthy and whatever is available to you at the time can be used.<\/p>\n<p>Key Takeaways:<\/p>\n<ul id=\"takeaways\">\n<li id=\"takeaway1\">In a 2015 study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, nutrition experts found that there was little to no difference in the nutritional content of eight different types of frozen fruits and vegetables.<\/li>\n<li id=\"takeaway2\">The researchers even discovered that while frozen corn, green beans and blueberries had more vitamin C than fresh version, the opposite held true for fresh peas, which had more riboflavin than frozen peas.<\/li>\n<li id=\"takeaway3\">What matters most, Perez-Escamilla says, is how the fruit or vegetable is prepared. Vegetables can lose water soluble vitamins when boiled.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"quote\">&#8220;The nutritional content is pretty much the same in frozen versus fresh produce.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"source\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/entry\/fresh-or-frozen-health_us_583df406e4b0ae0e7cda7950\">http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/entry\/fresh-or-frozen-health_us_583df406e4b0ae0e7cda7950<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getting fresh vegetables in the winter is difficult, so should you use frozen instead for something like stew.
