Weis Peas & Carrots
What it is
This is a convenient frozen vegetable blend featuring tender green peas and sweet, diced carrots. The vegetables are flash-frozen shortly after harvesting to preserve their fresh flavor and texture. This combination offers a familiar and comforting taste, making it a versatile addition to many meals. It is ready to be heated and served as a side dish or incorporated into more complex recipes.
How people cook with it
This frozen vegetable mix is ideal for quick and easy meal preparation. It can be used in a variety of dishes to add color and flavor.
- Steamed as a simple side dish
- Added to casseroles and bakes
- Mixed into rice pilafs
- Included in soups and stews
To prepare, you can heat the peas and carrots on the stovetop with a small amount of water until tender, or microwave them according to package directions. For stovetop cooking, bring about 1/4 cup of water to a boil in a saucepan, add the frozen vegetables, cover, and simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain any excess water before serving. This method ensures the vegetables are heated through while retaining a pleasant texture.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to fresh vegetables, this frozen blend offers the convenience of being pre-washed and pre-cut, saving preparation time. The freezing process locks in nutrients and flavor, often resulting in a taste and texture comparable to freshly cooked vegetables, without the spoilage concerns of fresh produce.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused portion in a tightly sealed freezer bag or container in the freezer. This will help prevent freezer burn and maintain the quality of the vegetables for future use. Ensure the container is airtight to keep out moisture and odors.
