and are actually FRESHER than "fresh" veggies

As an adult who thought that they hated pretty much all veggies (especially broccoli and corn) and found out that I absolutely love them when prepared fresh and that the bagged versions tasted like ass, I'm gonna call bullshit on that.

It might work for you, but nothing beats freshly-prepared corn, whether grilled in the husks or cut and sauteed.

You can call bullshit on whatever you want but it's a scientific fact.

The foodtuber Adam Ragusea happens to have two videos addressing these specific topics:

The superiority of flash frozen foods: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_PMnCpaJiQ

Food starts rotting the instant it's harvested, and continues doing so while it's packaged, transported, and stored on the shelf. Modern flash freezing techniques preserve foods perfectly, halting the microorganisms that cause decomposition, and avoiding the damage caused by large ice crystal formation that's inevitable with slow domestic freezers.

The selective breeding and genetic engineering of sweetcorn: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIVG54wNPd0

Interestingly with the sweetcorn, it used to be that it had to be eaten immediately after harvest, so much so that you'd have the water boiling before even picking them. However with modern developments they can remain fresh much longer.
