Continuing her efforts this morning, she shared another post. In it, rapper, YouTuber, and civil rights activist Richard Williams, aka Prince EA, took viewers through the oddity of consuming fresh food from big retail stores. He said, “Stop eating fresh food! “Supermarket fresh food had been harvested before they are ripe. They are shipped on a truck, stored in a warehouse, and then they are put on the shelf for weeks until they are purchased. Losing half of its nutrients in the process.

Then he explained what happens if a fruit or vegetable is frozen. “Meanwhile, frozen fruits and vegetables are flash-frozen at the point of ripeness. Which is why one cup of frozen spinach has four times the amount of nutrients, such as fiber, iron, and calcium, compared to fresh spinach. Unless you shop at a farmer’s market or eat seasonally, frozen fruits and vegetables are a lot more nutritious.” Williams said.

Could frozen food be just as good as fresh one?

The post has already received more than 50k likes at the time of writing this article, and may witness a further increment in popularity.

According to an article published in “theconversation.com,” some water-soluble vitamins, such as Vitamin C, may be lost during the initial blanching process involved with freezing. However, the vast majority of the Vitamins and minerals are still there. Even the quality of dietary fiber is not compromised despite the presence of ice crystals that dissolve portions of the plant cell walls.

Thus, when comparing the nutritional value of fresh vs. frozen veggies, multiple studies have shown that the frozen versions are superior.
