Frozen WHAT!!!???

Ok well i've heard and read that frozen vegetables and fruits may actually be better than fresh...which to me was totally the opposite of what I thought.  Better in that they pack more nutrient-packed than "fresh" produce that has been sitting on shelves and because frozen is typically going to be cheaper...which for some people can mean the difference between juicing and just trying something else.  So I started googling around and read quite a few articles on it and the consensus does say frozen can be better...here is a little blurb I got from one of the articles...I chopped out all the extra stuff to give yall the Cliff Notes version...

  While canned vegetables tend to lose a lot of nutrients during the preservation process, frozen vegetables may be even more healthful than some of the fresh produce sold in supermarkets.  Fruits and vegetables chosen for freezing tend to be processed at their peak ripeness, a time when—as a general rule—they are most nutrient-packed.

  While the first step of freezing vegetables—blanching them in hot water or steam to kill bacteria and arrest the action of food-degrading enzymes—causes some water-soluble nutrients like vitamin C and the B vitamins to break down or leach out, the subsequent flash-freeze locks the vegetables in a relatively nutrient-rich state.
 
  On the other hand, fruits and vegetables destined to be shipped to the fresh-produce aisles around the country typically are picked before they are ripe, which gives them less time to develop a full spectrum of vitamins and minerals. Outward signs of ripening may still occur, but these vegetables will never have the same nutritive value as if they had been allowed to fully ripen on the vine. In addition, during the long haul from farm to fork, fresh fruits and vegetables are exposed to lots of heat and light, which degrade some nutrients, especially delicate vitamins like C and the B vitamin thiamin.

So now I am going to start looking for places to buy frozen produce in bulk.  This SHOULD drastically cut down on how much it costs to make these juices and allow me to stock up on more of them so I have more of them available to experiment around with if I'm feeling a little bit brave.  I'll do some shopping around and let yall know what I find!!!  Thanks for stopping by!!!
