You still think a fresh bean is more nutritious than a frozen green bean?Well you’re wrong unless you just picked it yourself.
A fresh green bean will lose 45% of its nutrients after l6 days and most fresh veg take up to two weeks to get to market. But a green bean frozen right after picking retains its nutrients.
Fresh peas lose up to 15%of nutrients by the time they get to market, carrots l0%. And frozen is cheaper.
The research by Britain’s Food Institute found that 80% of the shoppers believed they bought fresh veg less than four days old!
The research was carried out by the Institute on behalf of Birds Eye the frozen food manufacturer.
