Frozen food markets have also shrunk, except for increased demand for frozen fruits and vegetables, both of which tend to be cheaper than fresh produce while still offering similar health benefits. Of note, demand has jumped for frozen blueberries, frozen carrots, other frozen fruits and for canned tomatoes. (See section 3 for more details about trends and opportunities.)[/ImageInfoWidget]
