which is more nutritional: Frozen or Fresh Vegetables?

Should you head to the supermarket freezer case instead of the produce department the next time you want nutrient-rich vegetables? It seems that up to 45% of the health-enhancing nutrients in fresh veggies have shriveled up and disappeared by the time they're eaten.

And produce that's processed right after being picked retains more of the nutrients, according to the UK-based Institute of Food Research, which carried out the research on behalf of the frozen food manufacturer Birds Eye.
