It makes no difference in terms of the carbs ‍♀️ Frozen can be really useful for things like raspberries that go off quickly otherwise. Berries tend to be lower carb than other fruits so we usually have some in the freezer.

I grow lots of different fruits and store in the freezer so they ready to use whenever for adding to sugarfree jelly or with yoghurt or just with cream. I find strawberries are not so good, more mushy when thawed

I like frozen berries (mixed) as they’re really useful for desserts or breakfasts. They’re cheaper, keep longer, and mean you don’t have to plan ahead.

I prefer fresh but like to have a bag of frozen berries too if I have space in my freezer.

I personally do not like frozen berries they always turn to mush! Much prefer fresh,

Depends upon the fruit and what I am going to do with them.
When I was a kid, my parents had a large allotment where they grew fruit and veg to last the year. I remember summer days say in the garden with branches from the currant bushes topping and tailing the fruit so they could be laid out on trays to be be frozen for the winter. The apples were stewed and frozen in pie sized portions.
So, I grew up with frozen fruit. It was always used in cooking rather than eating direct from the freezer because, as @grovesy mentioned, freezing fruit turns it mushy
I have no fruit trees or bushes today but think of bought frozen fruit the same.

I love the raspberries in my yoghurt on on cereals . I have had the mixed fruit from tesco ‘s cheap but sour so I added erythritol but it is not the same with erythritol for my blood sugars . I have not tried anything other than apples and blackberries / raspberries as fresh fruit as we used for pies so they are just counted as naughty and if I have it’s rare and a small portion. I avoid doing that now.

I have frozen raspberries with sugar free jelly and yoghurt every day.
The best I've found are from Lidl

Same reason, fresh everytime, same with veg apart from peas.

I like sweetcorn and I freeze green beans well too. However the cost and the fact that the fruit travels do many air miles puts me off . Especially when I use it in smoothies or in yoghurt or jelly then I do not mind . Strawberries don’t freeze as good as the blackberries and raspberries . I like tinned in juice too but that counts more.

I wouldn't buy frozen fruit but freeze my own grown stuff also veggies, I wouldn't buy fresh then freeze those always use fresh.

Frozen fruit has far More sugar

I know tinned or dried fruit does but why do you say frozen does?

Frozen fruit has far More sugar

Can you provide some examples of this?
As I said previously, I tend to freeze my own fruit but my understanding is that shop bought frozen fruit only contains fruit with no added sugar.

No, frozen fruit is usually just fruit frozen. As an example, my frozen berries list the ingredients as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries. That’s all. No sugar at all. I’ve never had frozen fruit with any sugar in.

In my own experience fresh fruit never can be beaten . Often I freeze fruit without sugar and it becomes mushy so used before I’d have added sugar and used with sour apples in pies. Now that’s not allowed or not sensible as it would up sugar for me . Buying soft fruit has.no added sugar but it’s sour so often I’d add sugar honey or sweetener but now I find fresh is really the best. The best for taste snd sweetness snd doesn’t raise the blood sugars .
