Because proper
nutrition is important to creating health, I am always looking for the best bang for my buck, time and effort. So there is always the question about fresh or frozen and even whether to buy organic or just local. Frozen may be the best bet for convenience and cost - less spoilage. Frozen may also have the best nutritional value because of being picked at the height of ripeness and flash frozen. Fresh is great for in season items and organic is important in reducing toxins from pesticides. I always buy organic lemons to use in my liver cleanse. See below for other fruits and vegetables where you may want to go with organic.
