Pick Frozen Vegetables

Guest: Ferring Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

In cold weather, pick frozen vegetables. Fighting inflammation in your body means eating your vegetables, but in the winter, frozen vegetables might actually be more nutritious than fresh, depending on how they were handled, stored and prepared. Frozen veggies are picked at their nutritional peak. On the other hand, fresh veggies may be picked before they’re fully ripened, and in the winter frequently travel long distances to get to your supermarket, both of which may affect nutrition quality. So be in the know, when it starts to snow!

Nature’s candy is better for you than you thought!
