Fresh, Frozen, Canned or Dried for Your Diet?

A Diet Dilemma

Fresh, frozen, canned or dried? Which of these is the best method for food preparation? Which variation will provide you with the most nutrients?

Fresh is always best!

When it comes to freshness, you just can't beat fresh! Fresh fruits, veggies, meats and breads are your healthiest choices. When preparing veggies, lock in the nutrients! Don't overcook.

Frozen is next in line.

Though frozen foods are a fantastic choice, some foods just don't taste good when frozen. Examples are bananas, carrots and green beans. They just lose taste during the transition. Again, avoid overcooking the product. Frozen items tend to go mushy when they get too much heat.

Dried comes in a quick third.

Talk about convenience!  Dried veggies are especially nice when you are pinched for time.  Simply toss into a bit of fat-free bullion and you've got a tasty, pretty health-wise treat!  It's also super low in calories.  Though sugary, dried fruits make great little snackers.  Always measure out, then enjoy.

Dried food tends to have a rubbery texture and can be difficult to cook through-and-through.

Canned is last in line.

Canned may be last in line but it's generally a great buy at the market.  It, too, is very convenient when cooking time is pinched. Canned may not be as rich in nutrients as fresh, but they're still in there!
