How people cook with it
These vegetables are perfect for quickly adding color and texture to your favorite dishes.
- Quick weeknight dinners
- Adding to fried rice
- Tossing into pasta
- As a side dish
To prepare, simply open the package and add the vegetables directly to your pan or pot. They can be sautéed with a little oil, steamed, or added to simmering sauces. For a classic stir-fry, heat oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat, then add the vegetables and cook until tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes. You can also add them to soups, stews, or casseroles during the last few minutes of cooking to retain their fresh texture and vibrant color. Season as desired.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike whole vegetables that require washing, peeling, and chopping, this pre-cut mix significantly reduces preparation time. The variety of vegetables included offers a balanced mix of textures and flavors that might be more effort to assemble from scratch.
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
After opening, store any unused portion in a sealed container in the refrigerator. It is best to use the remaining vegetables within 2-3 days to ensure optimal freshness and quality. Avoid letting them sit at room temperature for extended periods.
