I’ve given up fresh vegetables…

Frozen veg only now. Mixed frozen veg and bags of peas.

My veg intake has gone up a lot of much easier to prepare.

No more rancid, rotting vegetables at the back on my fridge.

As long as you get some daily, doesn’t matter if frozen or fresh.

Frozen veggies have a place for sure.

I don't blame you. I mostly gave up on fresh vegetables and most fruits.

Yeah the stuff is great fresh... IF you eat it within 36 hours of purchasing it.

Going daily is very common especially in many countries in Europe, Middle East and Asia.

I’ll go daily every now and then if select items are in season and/or I want fresh cut meat from the butcher.

But frozen veggies for sure have their place.

You could have fooled me on the last part, but okay.


As far as the discussion goes, I considered the entire thread hyperpole on some level. I've bought more fresh veggies and fruits than probably every coworker I have combined within my immediate work area. Often pay premiums getting the chit in tubs that's pre-prepped and ready to eat, zero fukkks given because it's better than letting the chit rot in the fridge unused by a mile.

People who try to prep for 5+ years of post nuclear war or some chit like that are insane. You're not accomplishing that on your own unless you're an avid outdoorsman, don't need glasses/contacts/hearing aids/wheelchair/etc. type medical technology, and stay out in the woods way away from any action.

People who don't have even a couple weeks of food on hand for their household, purely by choice and bc they are lazy af... are just stupid.

I'm not above cooking fresh vegetables. They can be awesome off a grill or even a frying pan when done right.

But as far as cooking them and then freezing them for longer term keeping goes... why bother? I can buy steamer frozen veggie bags for like a dollar apiece or something, and save potentially hours of hassle and bs in the process, so it's not exactly a luxury item. And they just turn out so much better than any other veggies aside from eating them good and fresh.


Also, aren't veggies notorious for losing nutrients when they are cooked, the more cooking the worsr the effect? I always thought that was the most classic, ultimate arguement in favor of buying fresh vegetables. Not that it scares me off from cooking veggies ever, but it seems to me like properly cooking them and freezing to later re-heat would defeat the purpose when you can buy frozen steamer bags of them pretty cheap.

The freezing after cooking is for preventing waste, it’s not optimal I typically eat everything I buy before it goes bad. Certain veggies will last much longer. Proper storage and removal of tops etc that will wilt and rot first or picking bad leaves etc furthers the shelf life.


And veggies lose nutrients when stored for too long. In that way frozen retains more than say a purple potato which is normally crazy with antioxidants will lose it all by December. But frozen when fresh preserve longer.

And while fresh veggies may have more nutrients, bioavailability of the nutrients may vary.

Carotene from carrots for instance is more bio available when the carrot is lightly blanched in boiling water.

I buy fresh veggies about once a week. Green beans, yellow squash, zucchini, carrots, broccoli. Cut them up, put them raw in good containers in fridge and they last at least a week. I roast them in the air fryer fresh every day.

I'm sick of buying fruit and it turning out to be sh!t. The only fruit you can get consistency with is apples. Where I live they only sell grapes or blueberries in packaging so there's no real way of testing the fruit before you buy it, and it becomes a roulette of hoping not to get something that's sh!t tier, the fruit being too soft is usually the worst culprit. At least the packaged sandwiches are usually of similar quality, fruit is hit and miss as fukk

I got this way years ago. I like to shop sometimes for 2 weeks or a month at a time. Potatoes, onions, carrots, turnips are about vegetables I bother with fresh and the rest is frozen.
