Frozen fruits are fruits that have been harvested, cleaned, and then frozen to preserve their freshness and nutritional value and are typically picked at their peak ripeness.
Most frozen fruits and veggies are frozen shortly after they're harvested; they're allowed to ripen fully, which means they're chock full of vitamins and minerals.
Some research also suggests that frozen produce may retain its antioxidant activity despite the loss of water-soluble vitamins. Blanching results in a loss of antioxidants.
Fruit from the freezer in the grocery store is usually frozen at peak ripeness with about 90% water. After, the water becomes ice and expands, breaking down the cell structure.
A diet rich in frozen fruits and vegetables is associated with a reduced risk of heart disease. Frozen or low-sodium canned fruits and veggies all work to reduce heart disease.
Absolutely, Frozen fruit is just as, if not healthier than, fresh food. Unlike other frozen treats, fruit requires no extra chemical additives to stay fresh and improve health.
