    Mate is liquidising ginger and apple and freexing them in cubes.


    He defrosts two over night and having them as a shot before work in the morning.

    What amount of nutrition is lost in freezing compared to fresh ?

    Thanks ...

    Nutrient losses are usually negligible.

    Was chatting to another mate and he reckoned it was a substantial loss due to the cells bursting when frozen and therefore there was no point doing it at all.

    Fresh or nothing he says.....

    This is coming from a person who has coffee and a smoke for breakfast !
    A wh0res breakfast ... LOL

    There is a grain of truth in what he said insofar as cell walls can rupture when frozen but the effect that has is on the texture of the food when thawed. The nutrients don't disappear into the ether.

    Yeah nutrients themselves should still be fine as they are mostly chemical compounds rather than cells
