The vegetables are typically harvested at their peak freshness and then flash-frozen to preserve their texture and flavor.

It's a straightforward way to get a few different garden favorites into your cooking.
How people cook with it
This frozen vegetable mix is incredibly versatile for everyday cooking.
- Stir-fries
- Side dishes
- Soups
- Casseroles
To prepare, you can cook this frozen vegetable blend directly from the freezer. For a quick side dish, steam or boil the vegetables until tender-crisp, which usually takes just a few minutes. For soups and stews, add them during the last 10-15 minutes of cooking to retain their texture. They can also be roasted or sautéed for a slightly different flavor profile.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike fresh vegetables, this frozen blend is pre-cut and washed, saving preparation time. The freezing process helps to lock in nutrients and maintain a good texture, though some may find it slightly softer than freshly picked produce. The sugar snap peas offer a distinct sweetness and crunch that complements the other vegetables.
