Fresh? Canned? or Frozen?<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text]

<\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text]Now before we dive into which version of produce is better than the other, let\u2019s just pat ourselves on the back for eating vegetables in the first place!\u00a0 Any type of produce is better than none.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are benefits to each, so let\u2019s dig into why you might choose one of these over the other:<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”]\n

Fresh Produce:<\/h5>\n<\/h2><\/div>

That makes sense, of course, because when you\u2019re looking at a ripe banana, that\u2019s food in its most \u201cnatural\u201d form.\u00a0 But did you know that the nutritional content of a fruit or vegetable is the highest at the time of harvest and goes down from there?<\/span><\/p>\n

So, if a food has been harvested at peak ripeness, those nutrients will be greater.\u00a0 However, that’s not always the case with some farmers. Some produce is harvested \u2018immaturely\u2019 so that it can withstand the transit time to our grocery stores or the rigors of being packed and shipped, which can affect its nutrient content.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are a number of factors that we as consumers do not have any control over that contribute to how nutrient filled our vegetables are:<\/span><\/p>\n
