Ernest Willis · Answer 1

The fruits inside do not have enzymes, but if our body when digesting them, if these fruits are cooked they are much easier to digest by our digestive enzymes and if they are raw, digestion will be more laborious since it will have to break more masses chemicals that were not destroyed by cooking.

Regarding freezing, it does not intervene in digestion.

Explanation:

The cooking of vegetables or fruits like meats generates that some chemical unions are destroyed, thus exposing the most internal structures in enzyme activity.
