It offers a colorful and varied addition to meals.
How people cook with it
This frozen vegetable medley is perfect for busy weeknights when you need a healthy side dish in a hurry. It complements a wide range of main courses.
- Quick side dish
- Stir-fry addition

- Salad topping
To prepare, simply place the unopened bag in the microwave. Cook on high power for the time indicated on the package, typically a few minutes. The steam generated inside the bag cooks the vegetables perfectly. Once cooked, carefully remove the bag from the microwave, cut it open, and serve the vegetables immediately. You can also add them to other dishes during the last few minutes of cooking, such as pasta sauces or casseroles, to incorporate their fresh flavor and texture.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike fresh vegetables that require washing, chopping, and careful cooking to avoid overcooking, this frozen blend is pre-prepped and designed for steam cooking. The water chestnuts add a unique crunchy texture that is distinct from the other components of the mix.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a fast and easy way to include a variety of vegetables in their meals.
How to keep the rest
Keep this product frozen in your freezer until ready to use. Once cooked, any leftovers should be refrigerated promptly and consumed within a day or two. Do not refreeze the vegetables after they have been thawed or cooked.
