Fresh vegetables are great when they're available. Still, their limited shelf life can make them problematic if you're going on a long trip or you want to stock your kitchen in case you're snowed in or otherwise unable to go shopping and get deliveries. You may also find that it's difficult to get high-quality produce when it's out of season. Fortunately, there are many alternatives to fresh produce that are still delicious and healthy. Consider: Freeze Dried Vegetables: Enjoy a similar texture and flavorful with a long shelf life and compact size. Frozen: When frozen at their peak, vegetables will retain their quality exceptionally well. Canned: Canned vegetables lose some water-soluble vitamins like C and B but they're easy to store and offer a long shelf life. You can order vegetables in any form through Instacart.
