Frozen Vegetables Can Be Kept Longer Than Fresh Vegetables

TRUE. You can keep your bag of frozen veggies in the freezer for three months, but for maximum freshness, we suggest you eat them within the three weeks after purchase.

On the other hand, fresh vegetables don't have a very long lifespan. As soon as they're harvested, they immediately start losing their vitamins and minerals. You have to eat them during the week to benefit from all of their nutritional value. So we can say that fresh vegetables at the grocery store aren't necessarily as fresh if we calculate the time in transport and storage.

And continuing on that line of thought, which veggie do you think lasts the longest? It's the potato which can be stored up to six months in a cool, dark and dry place without losing its qualities.
