To prepare, simply open the can and drain any excess liquid if desired. The vegetables can be heated on the stovetop in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until warmed through.

For added flavor, you can stir in a small amount of butter or a dash of your favorite seasoning before serving. This blend is ready to complement a variety of main courses.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to plain canned peas or plain canned green peppers, this product offers a pre-seasoned combination. The addition of seasoning means it brings a ready-made flavor profile, saving the cook the step of seasoning the vegetables separately. The blend of peas and peppers also provides a different texture and taste than single-vegetable options.
