Frozen Food that Looks Better Than Fresh

Eating vegetables and frozen fruit is more healthy than fresh look . According to scientists , frozen vegetables contain vitamins and antioxidants higher than products that look fresh .
As is known , the supermarket sometimes squirting a fine mist , so fruits and vegetables appear fresher . When in fact , some vegetables and fruits have long been in a storage shed . During storage , a process of decay that can reduce levels of nutrients in vegetables and fruits .
The two teams that conducted this research from Leatherhead Food Research and the University of Chester . Researcher uses 40 tests to measure the levels of nutrients in the fruit and vegetable research . Foods tested have been stored in the refrigerator and freezer for 3 days .

Research shows that eating fresh fruits and vegetables is still the best option . But apparently frozen vegetables and fruits provide the best quality fresh food , rather than stored in the refrigerator so it just looks fresh . Study finds more beneficial nutrients derived from broccoli , carrots , and blueberries are frozen .
Frozen Broccoli contains vitamin C and lutein higher . Frozen broccoli also contains four times greater beta-carotene . While frozen carrots contain three times more lutein , beta-carotene is two times larger , and higher in vitamin C and polyphenols . Frozen sprouts also provide better results in the measurement of all nutrients , rather than products that look fresh .
Researchers from Leatherhead Food Research , Dr . Rachel Burch said the research results refute the proposition seems fresh food better than frozen entree .
" Frozen vegetables and fruits are more nutritious than just looks fresh . Prevailing opinion was that during these should be removed , " said Burch .
Freezing process is done immediately after harvest is thought to be the main cause . The process of keeping the nutritional content of vegetables and fruit until finally consumed .
This condition is opposite to the vegetables and fruit that just looks fresh . "It's like being frozen , the concentration of antioxidants in fruits and vegetables that look fresh declined during storage in the refrigerator to below the frozen product . Effect is very visible in the soft fruit , " said Professor Graham Bonwick from the University of Chester .
This research suggests to further streamline the process in order to prevent freezing of postharvest loss of nutrients from fruits and vegetables . Before getting into the hands of consumers , Vegetables and fruits could spend a month in storage , ranging from producers , agents to the seller . During the storage period , the decay is a major problem that can reduce kadat nutrients in vegetables and fruits .
"We need a faster method and the effective start of the harvest to freezing . 's Speed ​​determines the amount of nutrients that are lost , " said Director General of the British Frozen Food Association , Brian Young .
