Canned veggies are often more nutritious than "fresh" veggies in grocery stores displays

Because I try to vegetables everyday, I sometimes impulsively buy way more veggies at the grocery store than I can reasonably eat in a week's time, so a big portion of those veggies rot and I have to throw them out. This blunts the enthusiasm some, and then I end up buying too little.

So lately I've wondered if canned veggies are as good as what you get from the grocery store. Sure they are not fresh, but either are many veggies and fruits at the counter in the local grocery store, having spent days and maybe weeks in trucks and distribution centers after being plucked off trees or taken out of the ground. 

Well, it turns out that canned veggies can often be as nutritious, losing little in the process, and sometimes more nutritious than the same veggies at the grocery store, according to a scientific study described in this NY Times article. Just make sure when you read the label on the canned veggie that there is no added sugar or other hard to pronounce chemicals and little salt (which is a preservative).
