Why Fresh is Usually Best !!

Sodium (Salt), Sugar and Fats give foods, Packaged and or Processed an Extended Shelf Life among other things like...Making it more 'palatable' (Tasty) Attractive to the eye & reduce the 'Production' costs....Bigger Profit margins for the Producer and making it more often than not more affordable to the Consumer "YOU".

These are but a few of the reasons a Majority of Packaged and or Processed foods are relatively Cheap and Not very Healthy for you.

Fresh Produce can be a lil Expensive, and a few factors have to be considered in regard to this statement.
Things like ..Drought, Seasonal, Economic climate, Greed (lol) and the most Obvious reason being "Wastage"

Having worked with Whole sale fruit and veg in my 'younger' days I can tell you the mark up on 'Fresh Produce' is INSANE!!!
But You can still Eat FRESH without having to Sell the XBOX 360, the 2nd car or take a 2nd mortgage out on the house.

So a few tips / Hints on Shopping are in order and would be appropriate. Perhaps you want to take me Grocery shopping with you!!??

Myth or Not???

"When it comes to Vegetables, Fresh is Best"

Boww Bowwwwwwwwwwwww....MYTH!!

Frozen vegetables are 'snap' frozen soon after picking to lock in the nutrients, so often contain more nutrients than Fresh VEGETABLES that have been sitting on the supermarket shelves. and who knows how long they have been sitting in the growers/market stall storage or cool rooms...Up to 12 months has been reported(a current affairs programs) on some produce like apples etc.

You can limit the lose of Nutrients during cooking by cutting the vegetables into larger portions and Steaming, Microwaving or Stir-frying.
