Nutrient value
The nutrient value of the produce and meat remains the same even after being frozen, in most cases. The content is constant, but there are some nutrients that are likely to break down when the food has been kept frozen over a long period of time. When the items are blanched, that’s when they lose their actual nutrient value or when they are prepared to be canned. Since there is no significant difference between the nutrients as tested scientifically, we can simply enjoy either of the two equally without worrying about the numbers. Fresh produce no matter how carefully kept will face a loss of nutrition at a much rapid rate than any frozen produce because of the exposure to the air. The frozen fruits according to the experts also had a higher number of vitamins than the fresh fruits that had been out for a short period of time. In conclusion, frozen produce has the same nutritional value as fresh vegetables (if not more). Store your fresh produce appropriately and don't keep it for too long to get as many nutrients out of it as possible.

Shelf life
If there is one thing that creates a drastic difference between the two types, it is the shelf life of each. It is easy to figure out why either is preferred and where the fresh food takes shorter amount of time to prepare the frozen food needs time to thaw but when it comes down to the amount of time you can store either of them, the frozen sort wins. If you don't have time to go grocery shopping every other day, the frozen section always seems more appealing to stock up on.

Bacteria
Fresh produce or meat has a tendency to have a buildup of bacteria that continues to spread until it is cooked, and the same thing happens with frozen food, which is why the time at which the food is frozen is important. If the items are frozen right away, the bacteria doesn’t get a chance to spread and often when kept at extremely lower temperatures the bacteria killed.
So next time when you are headed to get produce or meat for yourself, make sure you get the stuff according to how long it will be until it is consumed, so you can get the optimal healthy nutritional value.
