    Are the purchased vegetables still nutritious after being frozen in the refrigerator? Will frozen vegetables have a lot of nitrite like leftovers? Recently, the relevant test results carried out by the Shanghai Consumer Rights Protection Committee showed that the nutritional difference between most frozen vegetables and fresh vegetables is not large, and the nitrite content of frozen vegetables and fresh vegetables is also similar


    The Shanghai Consumer Protection Committee selected frozen green beans, edamame, quick-frozen broccoli, carrots, shepherd's purse and corresponding fresh vegetables in the vegetable market sold in supermarkets, and sent them to Shanghai Yuanben Food Quality Inspection Co.


    Some consumers are concerned that frozen vegetables will produce more nitrites if they are kept in the refrigerator all the time


    But how do you freeze and thaw fresh vegetables to maximize nutrient retention? Experts remind that fresh vegetables should be sorted and processed as soon as possible after they are received


    Immerse the vegetables in cold water as soon as possible after blanching, and then absorb the water on the surface, and then store them in the refrigerator
