I've taken a definate prefrence to steamed frozen ( As opposed to canned ) veggies lately--IMO the quality has improved quite a bit over the last decade or so and a nice thing is there's hardly any waste--take what you want, reseal the bag with a twisty tie and put the rest back into the freezer... But if the fresh is reasonably priced I will definately use them instead--carrots, broc, onions, peppers......and there's no problem with adding say a handful of frozen veggies to the mess maybe some peas or lima....a little butter or olive oil after cooking perhaps a splash of lemon juice, some salt and pepper, parsley flakes..etc... --

Fruits found in stores may have insecticides & waxes & etc. on their skins. Processed fruit juice is at least from washed fresh fruits & is probably inspected for insecticide content. -- Cliff
