Make Friends With Your Freezer

Healthy, cost-cutting frozen food tips from Dr Annette Creedon of the British Nutrition Foundation…

● Frozen vegetables tend to be cheaper than fresh varieties and, as frozen veg has a long shelf-life, you can use it whenever you want, reducing waste. ● Freezing preserves nutrients, with some frozen vegetables providing more nutrients than fresh veg.

● Keep leftover portions of homemade meals such as chilli, cottage pie, soups and stews in the freezer for days when you don’t have time to cook. ● Frozen fish is a nutritious choice and is often cheaper than fresh fish.
