Date: August 23, 2010 03:53PM I am still very new at this and wondered what the thought is on frozen fruits (like blueberries for green shakes) and frozen corn in particular.
I have several packages of frozen fruit in the freezer and corn and green beans. and am wanting to use them. Do you think any of the vitamins and enzymes survive the freezing? I know fresh is best but wondered what everyone thought of using/buying frozen occasionally? I am wanting to make a recipe I found for raw cornbread (on the lovingsuperfoods website) with some of the frozen corn I have.. (hope it's ok to share here - it sounds good - especially with the jalapeno).. Please share your opinion on frozen produce with me. Here’s the recipe for the corn bread: 2 Cups Almond Pulp (grind 2 Cups of Almonds in your food processor or dry container of the Vitamix) 16 oz frozen organic corn niblets defrosted 1 tsp seasalt 2 T Agave Nectar (if you prefer a slightly sweet cornbread like I do) 3 Tbsp Olive oil 1-2 Jalapeno Peppers chopped fine (optional) — Food process everything except the jalapeno until a doughy consistency is formed. Add the jalapeno and process a little longer until well chopped and mixed. Spread dough onto a teflex sheet about 1/4 inch thick and dehydrate for about 6 hours. When top of bread is dry to the touch, flip onto the mesh sheet and pull off the teflex and dehydrate 8 more hours. Slice into squares and dehydrate another hour.

Can the child within my heart rise above? Can I sail through the changing ocean tides? Can I handle the seasons of my life? Re: Frozen Organic Veggies/Fruits ok?
