tips for healthy eating

Canned and frozen are just as good for you as fresh

Frozen and canned fruit and vegetables are as healthy and good for you as fresh. That's because frozen and canned fruits and vegetables are processed soon after picking and are very high in healthy vitamins. For example frozen spinach is higher in vitamin C than fresh spinach stored for more than one day at room temperature.

Another advantage is that frozen and canned fruit and vegetables are easy to store and always on hand. They are a quick way of feeding the family well because there isn't a lot of chopping and peeling.

Try adding frozen vegetables to stews and pasta to make sure that your family is eating lots of healthy vegetables. And buy canned fruit in juice instead of syrup - delicious!

Look out for supermarket specials - canned and frozen are often on special and there isn't any waste.
