Birds Eye Normandy Blend Frozen Vegetables
What it is
Normandy Blend is a frozen vegetable medley featuring a combination of broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and green beans. These vegetables are flash-frozen shortly after harvesting to preserve their freshness and nutrients. The blend offers a variety of textures and flavors, making it a convenient and versatile addition to meals. It is pre-cut and ready to cook, saving preparation time in the kitchen.
How people cook with it
This frozen vegetable blend is ideal for quick and easy meal preparation, adding color and nutrition to any dish.
- Side dish steamed or sautéed
- Added to casseroles and bakes
- Mixed into pasta or rice dishes
- Included in stir-fries
To prepare, you can steam the vegetables directly from frozen in a pot with a small amount of water until tender-crisp, or you can sauté them in a skillet with a little oil or butter. They can also be added to soups, stews, or baked dishes during the last part of the cooking process. Ensure the vegetables are heated through before serving. For a crispier texture, you can roast them in the oven.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike fresh vegetables that require washing and chopping, this frozen blend is pre-portioned and ready to cook. The quick-freezing process helps retain a texture closer to fresh than some other preservation methods, and the mix of vegetables provides a balanced flavor profile.
Who it is for

How to keep the rest
After opening, reseal the bag tightly and store it in the freezer. It is best to use the remaining vegetables within a few weeks to maintain optimal quality and flavor. Avoid refreezing once thawed.
