What the most Cost effective/essential vegetable to buy??

If you're already shopping @ Costco - their frozen broccoli & green beans are about $3 for a 3lb bag

none of my food is cheap....

well, only my tuna, I found a distributor (since I buy per 24cans carton anyway). Normally they go for 1.7€/can. I got them at 0.69€ cents.

I have read a number of credible research articles that say frozen vegetables actually retain MORE nutrients than fresh. The reason is that frozen veggies are picked, sorted, and immediately frozen - halting the degeration of nutrient value. Fresh veggies are picked, sorted, packed, loaded, shipped, unloaded, unpacked, and put out for display. And veggie nutrient value deteriorates over time. That doesn't even take into account how long the veggie sits in your fridge/pantry prior to being prepared....

good info
