To prepare, simply place the sealed bag in the microwave. Follow the instructions on the packaging for the correct cooking time, usually a few minutes. The steam generated inside the bag cooks the vegetables evenly. Once cooked, carefully open the bag away from your face to avoid the hot steam. The vegetables are then ready to be served as is or added to your favorite dishes. This method requires no additional pots or pans, simplifying cleanup.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike fresh vegetables that require washing, peeling, and chopping, this product is ready to cook straight from the freezer. The steam-in-bag method also differs from boiling or sautéing, as it helps retain more of the vegetables' natural moisture and nutrients by cooking them in their own steam.

How to keep the rest
Keep any unused portion of the package frozen until ready to cook. Once cooked, refrigerate any leftovers promptly. It is best to consume the cooked vegetables within a day or two for optimal freshness and quality. Ensure the bag is properly sealed if storing uncooked portions.
