A study published in the Journal of Science and Agriculture found that fresh food has actually been losing a lot of nutrients than frozen or canned foods.
To get the full nutrition, ideally we eat fruits or vegetables are freshly picked. But in modern times it is today almost no people in urban areas grow fruit and vegetables in her yard.
Elizabeth Pivonka, a nutritionist and president of Produce for Better Health Foundation said, there are many reasons to choose frozen or canned products, such as lower cost and nutrients intact.
Food freezing process actually serves to reduce damage to cell walls in the food. Clarence Birdseye, known as the inventor of the technique of freezing the food is said to learn the technique of the Eskimos.
The advantages of frozen foods, among others, the process is conducted shortly after the food is picked or freshly caught fish. Thus only a few nutrients are wasted.
Unlike the myths that many people believed, frozen or canned foods do not require preservatives. This is because the technique, which is placed in an airtight container, allowing the food is preserved
In addition Pivonka explain the types of preservation that also keep the nutrients from food, which is drying. "The benefits of frozen foods that have nutrients that are long lasting. In addition, the color, texture, and shape is not broken," he said.
