Which is better in general: fresh vegetables or frozen vegetables
Where I live, we have fresh vegetables in abundance at groceries. We also have frozen vegetables at the same stores.
I have read several articles (I don't have the links right now) which tell that frozen vegetables are better than fresh vegetables.I have a hard time believing that this is the case.
I have the general impression that anything fresh is always better. And if it's possible to get fresh vegetables, I always choose fresh over frozen.
Is it true that frozen vegetables are better than fresh ones? And if so, why is is considered better?

Frozen vegetables are just as good if not better than fresh vegetables at a grocery store, provided that the vegetables are frozen immediately after harvest.
There are many online articles that point to this, but here's an example from a recent NY Times article:
Nutrient level differences between fresh and frozen produce are so minor they aren’t likely to impact overall health. Vitamin content occasionally was higher in some frozen foods but researchers found no consistent differences between fresh and frozen. Frozen broccoli, for example, had more riboflavin than fresh broccoli. But frozen peas had less riboflavin than fresh peas. Frozen corn, green beans and blueberries had more vitamin C than fresh.
