Don’t shy away from the freezer aisle
If you don’t have access to the cream of the crop in fresh veggies, you can rest easy swapping in frozen veggies next time you’re cooking dinner. “Frozen veggies are usually frozen at their peak ripeness, so you can be sure they contain their highest nutrient content,” says Amy Margulies, a registered dietitian in Chicago. “Most frozen veggies don’t have added sodium as a preservative so they’re a great way to consume them at their peak.”
