Fresh, Frozen or Canned: What Produce Is Best? 

新鲜的，冷冻的，罐装的，哪种农产品更好？ 

Is Fresh Better? 

新鲜的更好？ 

Whether fresh, frozen or canned, the nutritional benefits of produce will be received no matter how you buy them – as long as you eat them! And if buying them frozen, means you're more likely to eat those green beans, then go for it! What's key is being able to have produce at your fingertips for any meal or snack without having to run to the supermarket every time you want a fruit or veggie. 

不管是新鲜的、冷冻的还是罐装的，只要你吃到肚子里，这些农产品的营养益处都一样！如果购买冷冻包装意味着你吃这些绿豆的可能性更大，那就买冷冻的吧！关键是当你想要某种水果或蔬菜的时候，你随手就能拿到，而无需再跑一趟超市。

 When it comes to picking produce, it's often assumed fresh is best, but that's not always the case. And besides, if we all need to be eating more fruits and veggies, the form shouldn't necessarily be the priority, especially since the type may not make much of a difference when it comes to nutrient quality. 

在挑选农产品的时候，通常观念是新鲜的即是好的，但实际情况却并非总是如此。而且，如果我们都需要多吃水果和蔬菜，那这些果蔬的形式则变得不那么重要，尤其是当不同形式的果蔬在营养价值方面相差无几时。 

Surveys have shown that when it comes to the main drivers for why we choose the foods we eat, taste rules, followed by convenience, health value and cost. (The last two are interchangeable.) Keeping those demands in mind, there are times when fresh just may not work for you, depending upon storage at home, your budget, proximity to your store, your schedule and your taste preferences. 

调查表明，挑选食物时，我们主要考虑这几个因素：口感、是否方便、健康价值和成本。（最后两个因素可以互换。）请牢记这些需求，因为有时候，根据家庭囤货量、预算、店铺的位置、你的日程安排和口味偏好，购买新鲜食材可能并不适用。

Produce for Better Health Foundation data demonstrates that consumers who have all forms of fruits and vegetables available in their homes also have the highest produce consumption overall. But since not all produce is alike, let's take a closer look at the various ways you can pick produce to satisfy what your body needs and your taste buds crave. 

农产品促进健康基金会的数据表明，家中有各种水果和蔬菜的消费者，其在农产品方面的消费也总体最高。但并非所有农产品都是一样的，所以我们需进一步了解如何挑选农产品以满足身体需要和口味偏好。 

From a nutritional standpoint, sometimes frozen is better because it's picked at its peak of ripeness, and some valuable nutrients (like the lycopene in canned tomatoes) are even better absorbed in their canned version than the fresh types. Most importantly, buy what you will enjoy, and what you can afford. 

从营养角度看，有时冷冻是更好的选择，因为这意味着农产品是在其成熟时采摘的，而且某些罐头果蔬中的营养素（如番茄罐头中的番茄红素）甚至比新鲜果蔬的更好。最重要的是，在经济条件允许的情况下，买自己喜欢的。 

Pros of Fresh Produce 

新鲜农产品的好处 

Comes in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors; nutrient-rich in their natural state without processing; no additives, preservatives, added sugar, sodium, fat; promotes eating in season; an "as is" as a snack; easier to purchase locally grown produce, ensuring minimal transport time, perhaps better taste and higher quality and the benefit of supporting local farmers. 

以各种形状、大小和颜色存在；天然的丰富营养，无需加工；没有添加剂、防腐剂、添加糖、钠、脂肪；提高食欲；本身就是一种点心；当地种植的农产品更易购买，从而确保最短的运输时间、更好的口感和更高的质量。
