I know people prefer to complain instead of act, but what is something people don’t like but has an alternative?

    Aren’t frozen veggies usually fresher as well. Like they are frozen within a couple hours of being harvested?

    Pretty much only buy frozen veg now

      “Fresher” probably isn’t the right term, but freezing (and canning) usually has some advantages since the flash freezer is closer to the farm than your house.

      They can be picked closer to ripe. Riper foods often contain more nutrients and taste sweeter.

      Also, frozen veg can be made of varieties that are not as tough (required for transportation), so they can be selected for other traits such as flavor.

      But you can also get those advantages by having a garden.

      Yes, but some veggies “translate” thought the freezing process better than others. Peas, for example, cook up really nicely after freezing.

        Watched an episode of come dine with me which had a birdseye pea farmer in the episode a couple years ago so don’t quote me but. Basically he said frozen veg is better cus it locks in the freshness.
