Harris Teeter Frozen Peas and Diced Carrots
What it is
This product is a convenient combination of frozen peas and diced carrots. The vegetables are typically frozen shortly after harvesting to preserve their freshness and texture. This blend offers a colorful and flavorful addition to meals, providing a good source of plant-based goodness. It is ready to be cooked from its frozen state, making meal preparation quicker and easier.
How people cook with it
These frozen vegetables are a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes.
- Side dish
- Soup ingredient
- Casserole filler
- Stir-fry addition
To cook, you can heat the frozen peas and carrots in a saucepan with a small amount of water over medium heat until tender, usually a few minutes. Alternatively, they can be steamed in a microwave-safe dish with a tablespoon of water, covered, and cooked on high for a few minutes until heated through and tender. They can also be added directly to simmering soups, stews, or casseroles during the last few minutes of cooking to warm them up.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to fresh vegetables, this frozen blend offers extended shelf life and convenience. The freezing process locks in nutrients and flavor, and the vegetables are already prepped, saving time on washing and chopping. The dice size of the carrots is consistent, ensuring even cooking.

Home cooks looking for quick and easy vegetable options will find this product useful.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused portion in a tightly sealed freezer-safe bag or container in the freezer. This will help prevent freezer burn and maintain the quality of the vegetables until you are ready to use them in another meal.
