Frozen Veggies vs. Fresh Veggies

Hello everyone. I have always been told fresh veggies are better for you but a few weeks ago I read an article that said this might not be the case. I wanted to hear your opinions on the matter. The article basically said that when frozen veggies are picked they are instantly frozen, thus preserving their nutrients. Fresh veggies often are not as fresh as we think because they sit around in the store and lose nutrients faster than veggies that have been frozen. I don't know whether to believe this or dismiss it as total BS.

Another issues I have heard with frozen veggies is that they have a high sodium count. I was looking around in the grocery store however and found these veggies called "steamfresh" and they have zero mg of sodium (or at least that is what they report on the label). So I decided to buy some because all you have to do to make them is leave them right in the bag, throw it in the microwave turn it on for 5 minutes and then your veggies are ready. They don't get soggy or anything. They taste really good.

So I guess my question is, am I still getting all out of my veggies if I eat these frozen ones?

Don't believe everything you're told.

Frozen veggies don't have a higher sodium count than their fresh equivalents.
