Heinen's Organic Stir-Fry Blend
What it is
This is a convenient mix of pre-cut, organic vegetables, flash-frozen at their peak freshness. It typically includes a variety of colorful and flavorful vegetables commonly used in stir-fry dishes, such as broccoli florets, snap peas, carrots, bell peppers, and onions. The freezing process helps to preserve the texture and taste of the vegetables, making them ready for immediate use in your cooking.

To prepare, you can cook the frozen vegetables directly from the freezer. For a classic stir-fry, heat a tablespoon of oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the frozen blend and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, or until tender-crisp. You can also add them to soups, stews, or casseroles during the last 10-15 minutes of cooking to add extra vegetables and nutrients. They can also be steamed or roasted.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike fresh vegetables that require washing, chopping, and can spoil quickly, this frozen blend offers pre-portioned convenience. The flash-freezing method locks in nutrients and a texture that holds up well to cooking, often better than vegetables that have been stored for a long time.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for easy ways to incorporate more vegetables into their meals.
How to keep the rest
Keep this blend frozen in your freezer. Once thawed, do not refreeze. For best quality, use within the recommended timeframe on the packaging. Ensure the bag is sealed tightly to prevent freezer burn.
