Exposed to light, heat and time, vegetables can lose some of their nutritional value
and goodness. So it makes sense that the older fresh vegetables are, the more likely
it is they’ve lost some of that goodness.
At Green Giant, we pick our vegetables at their peak of perfection for optimal goodness.
Then we give them a quick heat treatment to stop the natural enzymes that can reduce
their goodness over time. Freezing vegetables is like stopping their clocks, so
they lose less of the fresh-picked goodness nature intended. And that means your
family gets the vitamins and minerals you want them to have.
Several research studies show that freezing vegetables “locks in” important vitamins
and stops the nutrient loss that can occur in fresh vegetables over time. Green
Giant® vegetables are frozen fast to lock in nutrients, so they’re as nutritious
as fresh.
