What it is
This product is a convenient blend of pre-cut bell peppers and onions, frozen to preserve freshness. It typically includes red, yellow, and green bell peppers, along with diced yellow onions.

How people cook with it
This frozen vegetable mix is incredibly versatile, saving time in the kitchen. It's perfect for adding flavor and color to a wide range of recipes.
- Stir-fries
- Fajitas
- Soups
- Casseroles
To use, simply add the frozen medley directly to your pan or pot. For sautéed dishes like stir-fries or fajitas, cook over medium-high heat until tender-crisp, stirring occasionally. If adding to soups or stews, incorporate them during the last 10-15 minutes of cooking to allow them to soften. You can also roast them in the oven or bake them into casseroles. No thawing is usually required, making meal preparation quick and efficient.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike fresh produce, this frozen medley is pre-chopped and flash-frozen, which locks in flavor and nutrients. It eliminates the need to wash, peel, and slice individual vegetables, offering a significant time-saving advantage. The consistent cut ensures even cooking.
Who it is for

How to keep the rest
Store any unused portion in the original packaging or an airtight container in the freezer. Keep it frozen until ready to use. Proper storage will maintain the quality and prevent freezer burn, ensuring the vegetables remain flavorful for future meals.
