What it is

To prepare, you can typically cook these frozen vegetables directly from the freezer. Steaming is a popular method, which involves placing the vegetables in a steamer basket over boiling water until tender. They can also be boiled in a small amount of water until cooked through.

They are also suitable for adding to casseroles or baked dishes during the final stages of cooking.

Unlike fresh vegetables, these frozen options offer extended shelf life and require no washing or chopping. They are flash-frozen, which helps maintain a texture closer to fresh than canned vegetables. The variety of vegetables included can differ from single-ingredient frozen options.
