Guest guest Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Hi Tara, Freezing does some damage to the foods, and the most rigorous raw-fooders avoid frozen foods. Speaking for myself only, I do eat frozen blackberries when they are out of season. Why? Because I LOVE them!!! And occasionally ... perhaps a couple of times a year ... frozen bananas, as in banananananananana ice cream. What you put the frozen foods IN is really not the issue. The freezing itself causes the water in the fruits to expand, breaking apart the tissues. Some damage may occur to certain nutrients, as well. My impression ... and I have not studied this point with the same thoroughness as I have many others ... is that the damage is considerably less severe that that which occurs from cooking. However, I have never heard of anyone being rushed to the hospital suffering from frozen foodosis, either. The MOST healthful choice is to eat only whole, FRESH foods, of course, and this is what I do ... except for those blackberries. So from my perspective, it's just a judgment call, a choice, as with all things. Elchanan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
