Frozen veggies over fresh. I’m so fucking sick pf buying veggies then having a ticking clock on them. Frozen gives me all the nutrients and I can leave them in the freezer for months and not lose anything.
For me it’s the watties frozen stir fry mix. Cheap and has a good range. I do however pick out the pea pods because they suck.
There was a medditarrian mix that was amazing to cook in the air fryer but after buying 8 bags in a week they took it off special and it went from $4 to $8
“Fresher” probably isn’t the right term, but freezing (and canning) usually has some advantages since the flash freezer is closer to the farm than your house.
They can be picked closer to ripe. Riper foods often contain more nutrients and taste sweeter.
Also, frozen veg can be made of varieties that are not as tough (required for transportation), so they can be selected for other traits such as flavor.
But you can also get those advantages by having a garden.

Aren’t frozen veggies usually fresher as well. Like they are frozen within a couple hours of being harvested?
Pretty much only buy frozen veg now
Yes, but some veggies “translate” thought the freezing process better than others. Peas, for example, cook up really nicely after freezing.
