Nutrition of frozen foods
Does frozen food have the same nutritional value after you have thawed it and eat it as it did when you just finished cooking it?
Last week, I cooked a large stew of curried lentil lamb stew (yummy). There was too much of it to eat so I had to freeze 3 remaining portions of the stew. It doesn't quite taste the same so I'm wondering if the nutritional value of the food itself is compromised somehow when you freeze it.
Anyone know?
Thanx
Re: Nutrition of frozen foods
Given that many, many foods and biological specimens (including human sperm, I believe) are frozen as a way of preserving them, my guess is that cooking would cause considerably more degradation than freezing. Might depend though on how quickly they're frozen.

Seabaz,
In response to your advocacy of raw foods, I read this from Mark Morford today, and he made me laugh. Mark the second paragraph, please!

Enough about politics. What are you eating? What's in your body? Recall, won't you, the KFC Double Down sandwich, perhaps the most repellant hunk of inedible chyme ever invented by a major food corporation. It's extreme garbage, an astonishing example of a major corporation shamelessly tapping into the zeitgeist and making millions off of the thisiswhyyourefat.com obsession with gross-out food porn. What a thing.

Don't be snickering, vegans. Flipside is the nonsensical raw food movement, where hyperskinny obsessives spend all day furiously disproving the evolution of the human stomach by chopping nuts and making paste out of beets and claiming their extreme diet gives them tons of energy, all of which goes toward making their 24th giant dinner salad of the day so they don't shrivel and die in the next five minutes for lack of protein. Fun!

So if you cook food and it results in a nutrition-less food, how have we humans survived on cooked food for so long? Power of intention maybe? Whats your explanation?
Re: Nutrition of frozen foods
thats the power and resiliency of humans to store stuff and at least survive somewhat, thriving is another story:thumbsup::idea:

actually, there are plenty of examples of thriving, healthy populations of humans in the past. obviously we are not thriving at the current moment in time, to say the least, but the past is a different story. weston a. price traveled the world studying many different isolated peoples who were still eating their traditional diets (no white flour or sugar, etc.) and found them to be free of the degenerative diseases that are so common today. these people were strong and sturdy, with fine bone structure and high resistance to tooth decay (price was a dentist and so was especially interested in teeth). he took pictures to show what he found, and he wrote a book about his adventures titled Nutrition and Physical Degeneration. you can read the whole book for free online here:
