It depends, if you're talking fruits and veggies I would say frozen because often canned fruits are in a sugary syrup that's bad for you and canned veggies are usually loaded with sodium. IF you wanna go for the canned items though, just look for fruits in water rather than a syrup and veggies with "no sodium added"

Is buying frozen food good?
We have many good reasons to buy frozen food, including taste, convenience, and price.

Can you freeze carrotts?
Yes, carrots can absolutely be frozen. I do recommend however, partially cooking or fully cooking the carrots first before freezing. Since carrots grow beneath the ground, start them in cold water to cook. Anything that grows below the ground is started in cold water and anything that grows above the ground is started in boiling water. This principle helps with texture, flavor, and color.If the carrots are frozen raw without cooking, they will tend to gather large ice crystals quite quickly and become freezer burnt. This will sometimes happen with baby carrots if placed in an area of your refrigerator that is too cold.As with any frozen vegetable, the texture will be different from a freshly cooked carrot though. When a food is frozen, the water in the cells freeze, expand, and burst some of the cell walls. This is why frozen foods are more watery than their fresh or freshly cooked counterparts.Fresh carrots will have optimal nutrition followed by frozen carrots, then canned. If choosing between frozen or canned, the frozen carrots will actually hold their nutrition better than canned, since most food processors quick freeze their foods. Canned foods will contain salt and a lot of the nutrients are lost during the retort (canning) process.
