If I buy fresh, at least some of it will go bad before I use it all, but I do prefer it. I like canned bc it is so easy to store, but it lacks the flavor of fresh or frozen. It just depends on what I am making too.

Of course I prefer fresh.  We always have a large garden (our garden is in all of the former flower beds) and I freeze lots of those vegetables, I also make spaghetti,marinara, tomato sauce and paste.  I like to g to farmers markets often also.

In my household we use fresh, frozen, and canned. We always have canned in our pantry so if no one feels like going to the store, we just use canned. We usually use frozen veggies the day we buy them and fresh whenever my grandpa gives them away from his garden.

I use fresh veggies all the time, but I always keep frozen veggies on hand because they store so successfully for such a long period of time. I believe they are also frozen not long after being picked so by the time they thaw, they still retain much of their goodness and vitamins. I prefer to use frozen veggies in pot pies and stews but if I am serving a dish of just veggies, I will use fresh. I try to grow my own vegetables and have had much success with tomatoes, cucumbers, green beans and many herbs. This year, I will conquer bell peppers and zuchinis. It doesn't come much fresher than home grown!

I try to stay away from canned because of the added salt.

I prefer fresh and/or frozen depending on the vegetable. For instance, I will not eat fresh brussels sprouts again because I could never get them clean enough. Last time I cooked them fresh off the stalk, there were dozens of small black bugs on my sprouts and I didn't notice until I ate several of them. So from then on, I only buy bagged or frozen brussels sprouts.

I love fresh spinach and kale. The others I like fresh frozen. The reason being I don't need to worry about them spoiling.

I like fresh and frozen vegetables the best, but I buy mostly the frozen because I  like it. Canned vegetables have too much sodium in them so I don't bother about eating it.

I prefer fresh, then frozen and can as a last resort unless it is home canned.
Have a wonderful day!
