The headlines grow grimmer with each passing day. Inflation, supply issues, and extreme weather concerns leave customers wanting the best options to keep fresh fruits and vegetables in their kitchens. While fresh produce is the most desired for many customers, buying frozen vegetables like asparagus, green beans, corn, or fruits like blueberries and strawberries is also a wise choice.

Frozen foods, while technically processed, keep longer and can be thawed and enjoyed like their fresh counterparts or used for juicing, in the creation of smoothies, or for various recipes. They also make it easier to find out-of-season options during the autumn and winter months.

Don’t give up on your favorite fresh foods. Simply find them in your freezer section and see how these options measure up to the garden-fresh varieties.
