sorry if I wasnt being clear but I was referring to jar food.Ohiogal said:Actually it is not necessarily ... studies have proven that preserved food can contain more nutrients than fresh because fresh food may not be all that fresh. Do some research. When it comes to pre-processed what ar eyou talking about? Frozen veggies with cheese sauce? Not necessarily as healthy depending on what is in the cheese sauce. But frozen broccoli that is steamed is just as nutritious -- and sometimes more so -- than fresh broccoli for instance.
