Trouble Getting Enough Servings of Vegetables?
Yes, you read that correctly. It is true that fresh vegetables have slightly higher nutrient densities than their frozen counterparts; however, have you ever thought about how "fresh" your fresh vegetables actually are? The vegetables that you get at your local grocery store are generally far from fresh. Unless you are picking your fruits and vegetables directly from a garden or buying them from a locally sourced farmer's market, your produce is not as fresh as you think it is, and the nutrient quality and density have likely suffered greatly. For example, lettuce from your local chain supermarket is washed in a solution of chlorine and preservatives before being put in cold storage for up to a month. Potatoes can be stores for up to a year in a temperature controlled environment before they hit the supermarket shelves. Many types of produce are coated in wax to protect the outside of the vegetable and make it look nice on the shelves. Wax is not digestible by the body and you cannot wash off the wax with just water. In order to get the wash off, you must peel the vegetable, which removes the most nutrient dense part of the produce. In a truly global economy, where Americans demand to be able to buy any type of produce they want, any time of the year, supermarkets import produce from all over the world. If you are consuming a vegetable that is not in-season in the United States, it is guaranteed that it has gone through a preservation process and spent a long time in transit to land in your local supermarket. This says nothing about the fact that we buy produce and don't use it for a few days. This adds further to the natural nutrient decay that starts the moment produce is picked.
