Hmm I've actually always hear the opposite, that they have less nutrients than fresh. Why would fresh vegetables loose their nutrients? Except of course if they rot or something like that heh.
Edit: I read up on this, seems that the difference is neglible:
"In 1998, the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) published its official findings on the nutrition difference between fresh and frozen produce. The FDA found that, in essence, there is no difference in nutrition between fresh produce and frozen produce. Because of the nutrients that are lost due to most commercial food production of fresh produce, as well as the nutrients lost during the blanching and reheating processes of frozen food, the nutrient profiles of each are relatively the same."
