Frozen foods can be a very convenient way to help meet your nutrient needs during pregnancy. While many women may steer clear of the frozen food aisles and head for the produce section, frozen can be just as nutritious – sometimes even more so. The fresh fruits and vegetables that you find in the grocery store may have been picked before they are fully ripe and then stored and/or transported and forcefully ripened. Frozen vegetables, on the other hand, are generally picked at their peak and during their peak growing season and then immediately frozen. This means that they may retain more of the important vitamins and minerals that make them so healthy. But when produce is fresh, locally grown and in season, it is probably the best choice.
