Freezing is the best way to preserve nutrients in food. This produce is fresh and you can taste the difference! Also, for those of you who have been members of the Bed-Stuy Farm Share, you will be thrilled by this low-impact CSA. Think about how easy it is to eat fresh, delicious vegetables when they've already been cut, washed or pureed for you!
