If you're looking to make cake recipes healthier, adding some veggies to the ingredients is one option. Some canned veggies can make cakes even more delicious.

Chinese foods are of special concern, given their history of recalls. This is particularly critical for lower-income American families who often rely on shelf-stable products.

When it comes to canned vs. frozen vegetables, which is healthier? We asked Dr. Felicia Stoler, DCN, a registered dietitian, nutritionist and exercise physiologist, for the scoop.

Adults who consumed canned fruits and vegetables had an average diet quality score of 49 on a scale of 0 to 100, compared with 47.4 for their peers who didn’t eat these foods.

So in short, there really isn’t much difference between fresh, canned or frozen vegetables when it comes to nutrients, as they all lose similar amounts of vitamins after being picked.
