"You probably know fruit and vegetables are good for you, and most of us don’t
eat enough of them.

But amid a cost-of-living crisis, buying more fresh food may not seem like a
budget-friendly option.

Enter: canned or frozen fruit and veg.

These are usually cheaper and longer-lasting than fresh produce. But are they
as healthy? Let’s unpack the research."
