Using frozen vegetables in a vegan diet can have several benefits:
Nutrient retention: Frozen vegetables are often flash-frozen shortly after harvest, preserving their nutrients. This means you can get a wide range of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants even when they are out of season.
Convenience: Frozen vegetables are readily available, require no washing or chopping, and have a longer shelf life than fresh ones. They can save you time and reduce food waste.
Cost-effective: Frozen vegetables are usually more budget-friendly than their fresh counterparts, making them a cost-effective choice for vegans.
Reduced food waste: Since they don’t spoil quickly, using frozen vegetables can help reduce food waste, which aligns with vegan principles of sustainability.
Variety: You can find a wide variety of frozen vegetables year-round, allowing you to incorporate diverse plant-based foods into your diet.
Make sure your meals are supplemented with a variety of healthy and tasty vegetables, don't be boring, try new vegetables that might not be local to your area!
Additional information: frozen vegetables should be stored for up to ~10 months (~18°C), after which their nutritional and organoleptic qualities will deteriorate more rapidly. And it is important not to refreeze the produce → refreezing, as this will also significantly alter the nutritional value + increase the risk of unwanted micro-organisms.
