Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / December 2007Frozen vs. fresh veggies?
Frozen vs. fresh veggies? I've read "buy in season fruits/veggies" but that could cut out some favorite fruits/veggies. Is buying frozen such a bad idea? They're flash frozen in season. Your thoughts? Andy > Frozen vs. fresh veggies? > > I've read "buy in season fruits/veggies" but that could cut out some favorite > fruits/veggies. > > Is buying frozen such a bad idea? They're flash frozen in season. Frozen produce never tastes as good as fresh. But we're getting to the time of year where that's the main choice for many things. I prefer to use them in soups and stews and such.

I buy some frozen. Mainly I buy fresh or canned. Daughter LOVES canned green beans. They were one of her first foods and they're the only vegetable she will gladly eat at each meal. She also likes wax beans. And black olives. To her, black olives are a food group. As opposed to any other form of olive which she considers non-foods. I am lucky in that I get an organic produce box delivery every week. During this time of year there are a lot of things in there that we won't eat. Like yams and winter squash. I can usually substitute them for things we will eat. If not, then I just won't get the box that week. With colder weather we are eating more heated things like soups and casseroles. So if I add canned or frozen vegetables I figure it doesn't matter too much nutrition-wise. I really believe most fruits and vegetables are best for you when eaten raw. I also believe there are some exceptions. So right now we kind of have a mix of cooked and fresh. > Frozen vs. fresh veggies? > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Andy if it weren't for frozen veggies, we would be reduced to next to nothing for all the good 'free veggies' in the winter time frozen veggies are fine........ buy in season means you are getting the best fresh veggies at a good price to boot kate I think I read this in our local paper this last Sunday, that in some cases flash frozen is better than some fresh veggies, because when veggies are flash frozen they are ripe where as allot of veggies and fruits are picked and shipped before they are ripe. I hate to get pears at the grocer they are always hard and partially green. I remember as a child picking ripe pears off of my Aunts tree they tasted so much better:) <q> wrote in message news:Xns99FFA9729E27Ecotd@216.196.97.136... > Frozen vs. fresh veggies? > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Andy I love frozen veggies now as they are as fresh or in my cold state fresher then i could get at the produce isle. Often for a quick breakfast while im still half asleep is ill put olive oil into a pan and some frozen brocoli and heat through and beat a few eggs and pour over that...if im more awake and feeling fancy i will add cheese or sausages.

And I read in this morning's paper that if we eat raw broccoli or raw cabbage 3 times a week it will lessen our chances of getting colon cancer. Anybody want to bet someone will tell us next week that they're poison? SignatureMartha Irwin T2 Canada 1500mg. Metformin, 4mg. Avandia >I think I would have to be about 4 days dead before I even had broccoli >in the fridge :-) I had a fry-up tonight. I don't recommend it every day, just as a treat, maybe once a month. I made a light, thin simple beer batter. I prepared one small (75gm) fillet of fish in four strips, some chicken strips for SWMBO, five broccoli florettes with long stalks attached, half an onion in thick separated rings, and a spud with the jacket on sliced in thick chips (my ration was six). I dredged all but the chips in flour and shook them well to remove any excess. Using peanut oil I half-cooked the chips, then using the beer batter I deep-fried tempura-style the broccoli florettes, onion rings, and fish in sequence and drained them all on kitchen paper. Then I cooked the chips second-time-round and drained them well. I added tomato from under the griller and some microwaved spinach and served. An hour later: 6.3(113). Broccoli, tempura style, can taste wonderful:-) I'm afraid I don't like frozen spinach much, but I finished my serve. Much prefer fresh or home-frozen silverbeet.

You might suggest they eat their veggies raw. Just the way the Lord made them. This should slow the nutrient release from the veggies and help keep intake down. And I'll suggest you switch your main title from MD/PhD to the Prophet and Apostle of your LORD. Are you see visions yet?

The loss of hunger indicates that LORD Almighty GOD is no longer blessing them because they are no longer honoring their parents as HE commands. > The Lord certainly does work in mysterious ways.
