FRUIT: FROZEN or FRESH? 🤔 • • People often assume FRESH is healthier. • However, when it comes to fruit, FROZEN can actually be a better option! 😯 • Vitamins and antioxidants within a fruit deteriorate very quickly after it's picked. Freezing preserves these essential nutrients which gives frozen fruit a better nutritional profile than fresh. 🍇🍒🍓 • Just about all fresh fruit is picked prematurely, so it doesn't over-rippen by the time you buy it at the grocery store. Frozen, on the other hand, is picked at peak ripeness! This allows the plant to provide the fruit with optimal amounts of nutrients in it's final days of life. •• • Frozen fruit is super convenient, less expensive, and since it doesn't over-rippen it creates far less waste! 👍🏼 • I am not saying fresh fruit is bad. In fact, if you are growing your own, picking wild berries, or getting it from the farmers market (where the seller picked it within the last 24 hours), then fresh is even better! 👨🏼‍🌾👩🏻‍🌾 • • • • •...
