Green Giant Steamers Broccoli & Cauliflower
What it is
This product contains florets of broccoli and cauliflower that have been flash-frozen. They are packaged in a microwave-safe bag designed for steaming. The vegetables are prepared for quick cooking and serving, retaining their fresh texture and flavor through the freezing process. This convenient option is ready to be heated and enjoyed as a side dish or ingredient.
How people cook with it

- Quick side dish
- Add to pasta
- Mix into casseroles
- Top a baked potato
To prepare, simply place the unopened bag in the microwave. Cook on high power for the time indicated on the packaging, usually around 3 to 5 minutes, depending on your microwave's wattage. The bag will puff up as the vegetables steam. Carefully remove the bag from the microwave, as it will be hot. Cut open the bag away from your face and pour the steamed vegetables onto a plate or into your dish. The steaming method helps to preserve the vegetables' natural moisture and nutrients.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike fresh vegetables that require washing, chopping, and longer cooking times, these steamers are pre-portioned and ready to cook. The steaming bag method also differs from boiling or sautéing, as it locks in more of the vegetable's natural flavor and moisture, resulting in a tender, vibrant texture.
Who it is for
This product is suitable for anyone seeking a convenient way to incorporate more vegetables into their diet.
