While some inflammation is normal and necessary, prolonged low-grade inflammation is more insidious. That lingering inflammation, also known as chronic inflammation, can put you at higher risk of illnesses like heart disease, diabetes, cancer and more.<span class=\"ql-inline-citation\" data-cite=\"1\"\/>\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_3-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Luckily, incorporating plenty of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatingwell.com\/article\/292071\/the-best-foods-to-eat-to-fight-inflammation\/\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"internalLink\" data-ordinal=\"1\">anti-inflammatory foods<\/a>, like veggies, into your diet can keep chronic inflammation at bay. Most of us assume that fresh is the best choice when it comes to stocking up on veggies. But that\u2019s a common myth. Frozen vegetables are just as nutritious as their fresh counterparts. And they are often more convenient since they frequently come pre-washed and chopped. What\u2019s not to love?\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_5-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> We asked dietitians to dish on their favorite frozen veggies to tackle inflammation. Here\u2019s what they told us, plus their favorite tips to work more of these powerhouses into your day.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heading-toc\" id=\"toc-the-6-best-anti-inflammatory-frozen-veggies\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_9-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block eatingwell-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"> <span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text\"> The 6 Best Anti-Inflammatory Frozen Veggies <\/span> <\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_10-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block eatingwell-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"> <span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> Green Beans <\/span> <\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_11-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Green beans may not get as much attention as other green veggies like, say, kale or spinach. But don\u2019t overlook them. One cup of cooked green beans provides more than 10% of the Daily Value (DV) for vitamin C, an antioxidant that can lower inflammation.<span class=\"ql-inline-citation\" data-cite=\"2\"\/> In addition, green beans contain a variety of phytonutrients like flavonoids, carotenoids and polyphenols, all of which help fight inflammation and the oxidative stress that can damage your cells.<span class=\"ql-inline-citation\" data-cite=\"3\"\/>\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_13-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Try using frozen green beans in this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatingwell.com\/recipe\/7886668\/pork-green-bean-stir-fry\/\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"internalLink\" data-ordinal=\"1\">Pork &amp; Green Bean Stir-Fry<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatingwell.com\/recipe\/255150\/dijon-salmon-with-green-bean-pilaf\/\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"internalLink\" data-ordinal=\"2\">Dijon Salmon with Green Bean Pilaf<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_15-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block eatingwell-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"> <span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> Sweet Potatoes <\/span> <\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_16-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> While white potatoes are often labeled a \u201cbad\u201d carb (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatingwell.com\/article\/8044322\/are-potatoes-good-for-you\/\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"internalLink\" data-ordinal=\"1\">which isn&#8217;t true, by the way<\/a>!), sweet potatoes have largely avoided this fate. These colorful spuds are packed with two vitamins known for their inflammation-fighting properties, namely vitamins A and C. In fact, one medium sweet potato provides more than 100% of the DV for vitamin A.<span class=\"ql-inline-citation\" data-cite=\"4\"\/>\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_18-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Sweet potatoes are also good for your gut, which plays an active role in keeping inflammation levels in check. How? Sweet potatoes contain a type of fiber called resistant starch that feeds your good gut bacteria. When those beneficial bacteria thrive, they produce powerful inflammation fighters known as short-chain fatty acids (SCFA).<span class=\"ql-inline-citation\" data-cite=\"5\"\/>\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_20-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Toss frozen sweet potatoes into this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatingwell.com\/recipe\/280946\/turkey-sweet-potato-chili\/\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"internalLink\" data-ordinal=\"1\">Turkey &amp; Sweet Potato Chili<\/a>, or roast them for this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatingwell.com\/recipe\/276960\/winter-kale-quinoa-salad-with-avocado\/\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"internalLink\" data-ordinal=\"2\">Winter Kale &amp; Quinoa Salad with Avocado<\/a>.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_22-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block eatingwell-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"> <span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> Broccoli and Cauliflower Blend <\/span> <\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_23-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Both broccoli and cauliflower are members of the cruciferous vegetable family, so they share many of the same anti-inflammatory properties. For example, they\u2019re both a good source of vitamin C and are packed with anti-inflammatory compounds like sulforaphane. If you\u2019ve never heard of sulforaphane before, it has been shown to decrease inflammation and oxidative stress. That can be especially helpful for those managing conditions like heart disease and diabetes, explains <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vandanasheth.com\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"externalLink\" data-ordinal=\"1\">Vandana Sheth RDN, CDCES, FAND<\/a>, a plant-based dietitian and diabetes expert.<span class=\"ql-inline-citation\" data-cite=\"6\"\/>\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_25-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Put that bag of broccoli and cauliflower to good use in this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatingwell.com\/recipe\/7892028\/balsamic-broccoli-cauliflower\/\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"internalLink\" data-ordinal=\"1\">Balsamic Broccoli &amp; Cauliflower<\/a>, or whip up a pot of this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatingwell.com\/recipe\/277670\/broccoli-cauliflower-soup\/\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"internalLink\" data-ordinal=\"2\">Broccoli-Cauliflower Soup<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_27-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block eatingwell-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"> <span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> Bell Pepper and Onion Blend <\/span> <\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_28-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Keeping a bag of bell pepper and onion blend in the freezer is a great shortcut for cutting down on chopping. This mix is also an easy way to load your plate with a variety of anti-inflammatory compounds. For starters, bell peppers are rich in inflammation-fighting vitamin C. They also contain a disease-preventing flavonoid called quercetin, which helps protect against chronic illnesses like diabetes, cancer and more.<span class=\"ql-inline-citation\" data-cite=\"7\"\/> Coincidentally, onions happen to be rich in quercetin, too. So combining the two in a dish doubles the benefits. In fact, onions contain more quercetin than any other veggie, says <a href=\"http:\/\/www.soundbitesnutrition.com\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"externalLink\" data-ordinal=\"1\">Lisa Andrews, M.Ed., RD, LD<\/a>, owner of Sound Bites Nutrition.<span class=\"ql-inline-citation\" data-cite=\"8\"\/>\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_30-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Pick up a bag of frozen bell pepper and onion blend to add to this easy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatingwell.com\/sheet-pan-teriyaki-salmon-with-green-beans-8584217\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"internalLink\" data-ordinal=\"1\">Sheet-Pan Teriyaki Salmon with Green Beans<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_32-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block eatingwell-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"> <span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> Leafy Greens <\/span> <\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_33-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Frozen spinach isn\u2019t the only leafy green that freezes well. Kale and collard greens are also great options, especially when you\u2019re looking to add more anti-inflammatory foods to your diet. \u201cWhile some frozen vegetables can become watery and mushy when heated, leafy greens tend to hold up well during the freezing process, retaining their texture and flavor,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.busywomanweightloss.com\/meet-jacqueline\/\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"externalLink\" data-ordinal=\"1\" rel=\"nofollow\">Jacqueline Gomes, RD, M.B.A<\/a>., a New Jersey-based registered dietitian. These leafy greens stand up to spinach nutrition-wise, too. \u201cDark leafy greens are rich in polyphenols, which have anti-inflammatory properties and may help improve blood vessel function,\u201d says Gomes.<span class=\"ql-inline-citation\" data-cite=\"9\"\/>\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_35-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> You can easily swap frozen kale for fresh in this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatingwell.com\/recipe\/7921952\/vegetarian-potato-kale-soup\/\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"internalLink\" data-ordinal=\"1\">Vegetarian Potato-Kale Soup<\/a>.

Green peas provide soluble fiber for more of those gut-friendly SCFA, linked to lower levels of intestinal inflammation and a healthier gut lining.<span class=\"ql-inline-citation\" data-cite=\"11\"\/> They\u2019re also an easy source of heart-healthy plant protein.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_40-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Of course, they\u2019re a quick and easy side dish.

Here are a few of our favorite tips:\n<\/p>\n<ul id=\"mntl-sc-block_45-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\">\n<li><strong>Bulk up your soup:<\/strong> Whether you are enjoying soup that\u2019s homemade or from a can, toss in some frozen veggies. It\u2019s a low-effort way to boost fiber and antioxidants.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li><strong>Season and roast: <\/strong>Did you know you don\u2019t need to thaw your frozen veggies before roasting them? In fact, skipping this step is key to making a crunchy roasted veggie from frozen. (Plus, it cuts down on prep time!) After preheating your oven, toss frozen veggies onto a pan, drizzle with olive oil, season, then bake until tender and browned.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Just add eggs:<\/strong> Pair frozen veggies with eggs for a healthy yet quick meal option. Fold frozen veggies into your next omelet, scrambled eggs or these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatingwell.com\/recipe\/8026317\/air-fryer-spinach-pepper-egg-bites\/\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"internalLink\" data-ordinal=\"1\">Air-Fryer Spinach-Pepper Egg Bites<\/a>.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li><strong>Blend them into a smoothie:<\/strong> Your smoothie\u2019s fruit already offers some anti-inflammatory benefits, but you can optimize it even more by adding some frozen veggies. Frozen kale or spinach are popular add-ins, but we recommend giving others a try.
