Question from Jennifer
Hi,
Given that fresh, local and organically grown veggies should be my number one choice and usually are, when I have to choose between canned or frozen in a plastic bag, wouldn’t the frozen be healther due to less exposure to the plastic of the bag(leaching BPA and possibly phthalates, etc)?
Since the veggies in a can are in liquid and touch the entire can and can be heated quite a bit in transport and storage it would seem that the frozen which does not have constant contact to the sides of the bag and is kept frozen (hence avoiding heat induced leaching) would be healthier?
What do you think? Thanks!
Jennifer

You are correct. Frozen is healthier.
I personally eat frozen vegetables and fruits in addition to fresh because it widens the choice of organic foods I have to choose from.
