3 COOL PERKS of FROZEN VEGGIES

1. Frozen veggies cost less. On average, frozen spinach costs around $2.56 per pound — but fresh clocks in at a whopping $6.88! 2. They have a longer shelf-life. Say goodbye to that forgotten bag of wilted spinach in the back of your produce drawer. Frozen veggies last 3 – 12 months! 3. They’re as healthy as it gets! Unlike fresh, frozen veggies aren’t exposed to excessive heat or light, so they retain more nutrients. They’re also picked at peak ripeness, so they taste great!
