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?

There must be a limit on the amount of nutrients that a tomato plant can produce? So would a variety that has the positives of a large crop (ie a cheaper, less tasty cherry tomato) probably have fewer nutrients per tomato than one that was bred(?) for it's flavour (ie a lower yielding crop)?
