I like fresh and frozen too I also don't do cans unless I am in a hurry to put something together -- I have been trying to eat more fresh  veggies and fruits  so I have been going to Lucky's lately to get fresh organic stuff

I think the fresh and or frozen have the best taste. The canned has so much sodium in them, that I am not suppose to have. Yes it takes a little longer to cook the others but well worth it. But I will use canned in a pinch.

We are eating more fresh vegetables than we ever have before.  There is way too much sodium in canned foods.  With fresh, you can add your own ingredients and you know what you are eating!  I'm already daydreaming about the vegetables that we can grow in our garden and buy from local farmers.  You can't beat the flavor!

I prefer fresh, at times I may eat from the can or frozen foods, but I rather choose/eat fresh.  :)

I'm the same way.  Prefer fresh first, then frozen..can when I'm in a hurry.  I always wash the canned veggies really well before cooking them though, to get some of the metal taste off of them.

Those of you who realize how much salt is in canned foods impress me.  :highfive:

You can't beat fresh veggies, of course. Why would anyone pick otherwise?  ???  However, those of us who live in more extreme climes have to deal with frozen or canned most of the year.

You can always drain and rinse your canned vegetables to eliminate that excess salt. Then you can add salt, etc. to your taste.  :notworthy:

Of course, the vegetables you find at the store are a nice substitute for fresh out of the garden even though they have fewer vitamins and minerals because they've been transported here and sitting around for so long waiting for us to pick them up and use them.  :wave:

Or you can can your own veggies from the garden. I did that years ago. It's labor intensive, but oh, so worth the time. When you can open up your own work of art and savor the flavor of summertime again.  :heart: What a treat.

We prefer fresh in the summer and frozen in the winter time.

I like fresh the best and some vegetables I do like frozen like mixed vegetables.  I also try to keep some canned stuff on hand for emergencies or to add to my little shih tzu's food.

Of course fresh.  We use to have veggie garden but have been unable to the past couple of years but we regularly go to our local farmer's market and that makes no garden easy.   Always able to get lots of varieties of veggies at the farmer's market.
