I’m a dietitian — these 6 foods are better frozen than fresh

Frozen food has historically gotten a bad rap, ranking as a distant second compared to fresh options.

But UK nutritionist Rhiannon Lambert tells the Daily Mail this week that our frozen prejudice might cost us valuable nutrients: “There is a huge gap between consumer perceptions and the reality of frozen food’s quality.”

“I’ve been advocating for the benefits of frozen food for years, yet I don’t believe the idea that frozen produce can be more nutritious than fresh is mainstream knowledge yet and we need to do more to get this message across,” maintains Lambert, author of “The Science of Nutrition.”

She makes the case for the nutritional quality of frozen meat, fish, broccoli, edamame, spinach and sweetcorn.
