Frozen and canned fruits and vegetables are just as good for you as fresh!

  • Their nutrients are preserved in the canning and freezing process.
  • Choose fruit packed in their natural juice, not in syrup.
  • Pick canned vegetables that are salt free and season to taste.
  • They are available all year long!
  • They cost less than fresh, are always in season and are easily stored.
  • And remember, in any recipe you can always substitute fresh fruits & vegetables with frozen or canned!
