Swirled Berries is not the only example out there on your grocery store shelves.

Fresh versus Frozen Debate
Did you know that frozen fruits and
vegetables are sometimes more nutritious than
fresh ones. The longer fruits or vegetables
sit around waiting to be sold or eaten, the
more nutrients they lose. But fruits and
vegetables grown for freezing are usually
frozen right after they’re picked. Therefore,
they have less time to lose their nutrients.
