How it differs from similar foods
Unlike fresh vegetables that can spoil quickly and require washing and chopping, these are pre-washed and ready to cook. Frozen vegetables are often picked and frozen at their peak, which can sometimes mean they retain more nutrients than fresh vegetables that have traveled long distances. The steamable bag technology is a key difference, offering a hands-off cooking method.
