Fresh is always best...
Frozen comes in second..
then there is canned.
So there you have my pecking order!
To me vegetables fresh from the farm or just picked are healthier for you but frozen or canned ones are still a good choice. If frozen or canned right after being harvested they will still have healthy nutrients. I also believe since farm fresh is the best you should eat in season (what's being harvested now). This is where belonging to a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) can be very beneficial!
If you have to buy canned, keep in mind how much salt is added and try to buy those without added salt.
Remember don't overcook your veggies!! Lightly steamed works well and helps retain the nutrients.
