Green Giant Simply Steam Healthy Weight Broccoli Florets
What it is
This is a bag of frozen broccoli florets that are designed for steaming in the microwave. The packaging is specifically made to allow for easy steaming, creating a tender and flavorful vegetable side dish. The broccoli is flash-frozen shortly after harvesting to preserve its quality and taste. It is a convenient way to prepare a serving of vegetables without the need for added fats or oils during cooking.
How people cook with it
These broccoli florets are a versatile addition to many meals. They can be served as a simple side dish or incorporated into more complex recipes.
- Steamed as a quick side
- Added to pasta dishes

To prepare, simply place the unopened bag in your microwave. Follow the instructions on the packaging for the correct cooking time, which usually involves microwaving on high power for a few minutes. The steam created inside the bag cooks the broccoli perfectly. Once cooked, carefully remove the bag from the microwave, as it will be hot and full of steam. Cut open the bag and empty the tender broccoli florets onto your plate. They are ready to be enjoyed as is or seasoned to your preference.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to fresh broccoli, these frozen florets offer the convenience of pre-washed and cut pieces, saving preparation time. The steaming method used in the bag preserves more of the vegetable's natural texture and flavor than boiling, and it requires no added cooking fat.

How to keep the rest
After cooking, any leftover broccoli should be transferred to an airtight container and refrigerated. It is best consumed within a day or two. Uncooked frozen broccoli should be kept in the freezer at a consistent temperature to maintain its quality.
