5 foods that experts recommend to always buy frozen instead of fresh

According to an analysis by Consumer Reports, frozen fruits (without added sugar), such as berries, bananas, pineapples, cooked whole grains such as quinoa, brown rice, beans and frozen vegetables are part of the “best bought frozen” category.

Experts also believe that it is also better to buy frozen fish, as this way it retains all its nutrients.
