Hi there, I agree with you that canned or frozen veggies are great if you are in a hurry or just don't have any fresh in the house or it is mid winter and the fresh cost is sky high BUT I can't agree that they are better for you....you use the word processed IMHO anything that is processed is not as good as fresh..of course it does depend how you prepare your fresh veggies...properly cleaned and eaten raw is best or just nicely steamed. |
