Steamed Fresh Vs. Steamed Frozen Thoughts?
ad
Anybody know the nutrient percentage lost between frozen and fresh veggies? (I mean the frozen kind with no sodium or preservatives) Is it alot or a little?

AnonFrozen very often has better nutrient content, but I love the taste of non frozen so much better.
It really has to do with how fresh your fresh is. Frozen veggies very often get frozen right at the farm, so nutrient loss is minimal. While fresh produce sits on a truck a back room or a sjhelf its loosing vitamins.
Hmm, also another good point to research thankx!
It's generally worse altogether. The thing to worry about too is the nutrients lost if you over steam them! I don't know the exact value, but I do know that the softer and "mushier" they are, the more of the vegetable is broken down. The cells break down and that's why they get like that, since the cell walls cannot hold them together anymore.
Good point thankx!
