Depends. Peas lose nutrition very quickly after picking. Frozen peas are better for you than day old picked ones iirc.
So rather depends on a case by case basis, how fresh, how far it’s travelled etc. But generally most things dug up/harvested and got to plate asap will be better.

Thanks. And is there a correlation between nutrient (quality? quantity?) breakdown and taste?
It might be a silly bunch of questions but I haven’t found an answer elsewhere. I want to know if the insipid produce sold at economical supermarkets could additionally be expected to be less nutritious than its flavourful peers, usually sold at a premium or at more expensive shops. Is that a question that makes sense given the variables involved?

Thanks for the reply. Let’s say tomatoes: would a tastier tomato be indicative of higher nutrient content compared to a similar but insipid tomato? Please assume factors such as variety, maturity, region of origin are the same, but there could be variation in growth techniques, fertilisation, etc.
I don’t remember enough of my high school biochem classes to specify nutrients.
