I agree; fresh produce is always the best (tasting, certainly and better for you) and it is a little sad when you can't just drive up the road to the farm stand to pick up something that's just been harvested (As an aside, I'm really excited to get to some fresh tomatoes and peaches we got on the way home yesterday evening!). And you bring up a very good point about "frozen fresh." I look at it this way: the fresher and the closer to home, the better (and healthier). After that you have to start making decisions. Nutritional benefits are going to decrease with any kind of processing, but some choices certainly are better than others. Frozen fresh is certainly better than canned halfway across the world and there are a number of degrees in between. Thanks, Julia.

I am always sad when the local produce is not in season. If we eat fruits and vegetables that have been frozen fresh will it have the same benifits? eating local food is not only good for your body but it is great for the local economy.
