I try as often as possible, which is almost always.
I like to eat "clean" as often as possible.

I love fresh vegetables! That's why we have a garden every year. I usually freeze a lot to last through the winter and then start again in the spring.

Sometimes I do, but I mostly buy the frozen vegetables because they say frozen is better than the can vegetables, and I agree. I choose fresh and frozen vegetables over can.

I use both fresh and frozen, I enjoy fresh vegetables that I can eat raw but for cooking, fresh or frozen is fine with me.

I like to use fresh a lot, but sometimes having frozen on hand is easier and I still enjoy it.  I don't buy as many cans, though.

Majority of my vegetable intake is either fresh or frozen depending on the vegetables and what I'm making. Periodically, I do have can vegetables, but it's usually something like cream corn or something similar.

I did that when I cooked and had some extra money. Now I don't have either of those things. I do like fresh. I think that it is the best for quality. There are so many ways to cook fresh veggies. I like to experiment. BMaston12

Fresh veggies better over any other. I love farmers markers for this just reason at least you know its fresh and not waiting in some place for a week or two before it gets sent off to market for people to buy

I use it sometimes.  Mostly frozen ones especially if I'm in a rush to make something quick.

I wish I could have a garden! We have a lg store with nice selection of organic veggies/fruit that I often go to. (Even though these aren't organic, I also buy some frozen if there is a good sale.  Canned I don't like as much, but will get if there's a good sale and those get used in soups or casseroles.)  I don't have a big freezer and it's not always possible to get to the store, especially in the winter, so then the cans come in handy.

Yes, I love fresh vegetables and seldom use can as they tend to have to much salt even though when I buy can vegetables, I always get the sodium free ones, but I still rinse them off before cooking.

99% of the time I use fresh vegetables.  I use frozen vegetables a lot.

Yes although sometimes I get tired of the work it takes to do them.  But the alternatives aren't great.  I don't like the texture of frozen veggies and I don't care for canned except for the small green peas in the can.  I like those.

I try to buy fresh fruits and vegetable as often as I can, but sometimes I buy frozen to save money. Canned vegetables are on the bottom of the totem pole, however I do like canned tomatoes.

Post by: 6265AT99 on June 01, 2015, 01:55:06 pm
Usually only fresh, organic vegetables are the ones I use.  The only time I buy frozen is if I can't find the fresh.

I often use it right when they are picked, so yes I do use fresh vegetables half of them are home grown as well.

I do, and I consider frozen veggies fresh too... they are the same as regular vegetables, just frozen to last longer. It's just as healthy.
Title: Re: do you use fresh vegetables
Post by: ancmetro on June 03, 2015, 05:55:11 pm

   If you are going to use canned vegetables..."rinse them with lots of warm water to remove excess salt". It really makes the difference. Canned vegetables have extra salt because of storage preservation.

Oh yes! We use fresh vegetables at every dinner we make. At least have a salad made from cherry tomatoes, cukes, celery, green pepper, carrots, snow peas, etc. but also almost always have a cooked fresh veggie too like broccoli or cauliflower. We are trying to cut down on carbs altogether and replace them with fresh veggies.

I use fresh vegetables 99% of the time.  They taste better without all the stuff canned veggies have in them to preserve the veggies.

Oh yes, as fresh as possible.  And as organic is possible.  After serious health problems I truly believe this is a huge part of allowing myself to keep living.

I've been adding more fresh veggies to my meals.  I'm starting to crave them.  I grow a garden in my little back yard with tomatoes, peppers, squash, eggplant, watermelon and herbs.  I'd love to grow more, but I don't have the space here.

 I love fresh veggies but frozen works too.  Canned vegeis can help streach a meal when there is little time.
