Fresh or Frozen veggies?

[DriDDeRz]

i would like to hear other peoples thoughts on what is better
ive heard that frozen ones can be just as good


just saying

 

[Hypocrisy86]

Some frozen ones are good, i would try to buy more fresh though.

Frozen can actually have better nutrition levels as they tend to be picked when ripe as opposed to some "fresh" stuff being ethelene ripened after cold storage.

I personally would be trying for farmer market style foods. Frozen can be a good alternative (I've got a pack in the fridge for emergencies) but it tends to be the offcuts from normal production and relatively expensive.

fresh when possible.

Frozen are easy for me and cheap around here. I throw them in with my rice because my rice cooker has a veggie steamer on top If you can find local and fresh veggies, it is a good route to take but I havent seen anything to discourage me from using frozen.

^ cooking rice is so 2008.. these days we use instant rice put hot water on, wait 5min and you are ready to go

< i use both, mostly frozen because its cheaper and i don't waste anything.

Not necessarily true.

And "fresh" is a relative term. Refer to my earlier post.

i had read it in an article, not even the slightest clue what it was called, when i read it and where.
i just remembered the conclusion, dont bother with instant rice.
it was extremely high in something if memory serves.

 

[miamiracing]

According to www.nutritiondata.com, the caloric makeup of prepared instant rice is 89% carb, 4% fat, and 7% protein. Regular rice is slightly better use of your calories, 90% carb, 2% fat, and 8% protein.

Well its extremely high according to the glycemic index ratings for carbohydrates. Meaning that it can cause a bigger insulin spike as apposed to brown rice (fibre) therefore can lead to gaining fat.

However, the glycemic index is only tested with just those products, i dont know any fucker who eats a bowl of rice without anything like chicken and veggies which would decrease the insulin spike.

My advice miami is to stick with carbs on the lower end of glycemic like brown rice/pasta even though they both taste like dry hamster poo.

oh just for your information, i use brown rice.. its pre cooked, all you have to do is throw it for another 10min in hot water and wait..
