Answer:

As part of the freezing process, vegetables are quickly blanched in boiling water. Blanching destroys the enzymes that would otherwise degrade the vitamins over time. If produce will not be eaten within a few days of harvest, freezing is the best preservation method to retain nutrients.

hope this helped!!
