Frozen berries

While juicy and flavorful, fresh berries also come with a high price tag. This is because of their demanding conditions for cultivation, the manual labor associated with hand-picking them (machine harvesting often yields more damaged or bruised berries), and the energy requirements to keep them fresh from the moment they've been harvested.
