A lot of the time if you are freezing garden veggies, they will likely have more nutritional value than something that is sold as fresh in the supermarket that came from another country since they are picked early so that they ripen in transit. In the winter often if you buy frozen veggies they will have more nutritional value than the fresh. It something to think about.

Although subject to waste (baby food only lasts about a week in the fridge - it's better to be safe and discard rather than risk food poisoning). Ideally, if time were unlimited, food would be made fresh every time, however, this is not the case for most parents.
