Frozen Fruits and Vegetables
This is more of an popular misconception than anything promoted by scientists. But the logic goes that freezing or unfreezing frozen fruits and vegetables destroys some of the precious nutrients they carry, and that the fresh version is always better as a result. In truth, numerous studies have shown that frozen (and for that matter, canned) fruits and vegetables have the same amount of nutrients as the fresh kind. And because some fruits and veggies can start to go bad very soon after they’re taken and stored at home, there’s even evidence that some types of produce are more nutritious when frozen rather than kept fresh.
