FRESH VS FROZEN Fruits and Vegetables | Which Are More Nutritious?

Fruits and vegetables can be fresh or frozen, and both are good for your body, like having two kinds of toys to play with!

When you buy fresh fruits and veggies, they're picked when they're ripe and ready to eat. They're like a cookie that's just come out of the oven, warm, tasty, and full of goodness.

But sometimes, they have to travel far before getting to your kitchen. That means they might lose some of their nutrients along the way, like a cookie cooling down on the table before you get to it.

Frozen fruits and veggies are picked when they're ripe too, but then they're quickly frozen, which helps keep their nutrients inside, just like putting that warm cookie in the freezer so it stays good for later.

Sometimes, frozen ones might have a little bit of sugar or syrup added, but not always! It depends on how they’re made.

So both fresh and frozen can be super healthy, it’s like choosing between playing with your favorite toy now or saving it for tomorrow!
