# Canned, frozen or fresh?

Key Stage 3 students have been exploring the differences between canned, fresh, and frozen foods. They considered which options they preferred from a cost, convenience, and nutritional perspective. The pupils investigated a range of fruit, vegetable, and meat products and discovered some interesting results. For some students, it was the first time they had tried certain foods, and everyone enjoyed comparing and discussing the differences between them.
