Specially Selected Vegetable Medley
What it is

The vegetables are typically pre-washed and cut, making them convenient for quick meal preparation. The combination offers a variety of textures and flavors from the garden.
How people cook with it
This vegetable mix is a versatile addition to many meals. It can be prepared quickly and easily, saving time in the kitchen.
- As a side dish
- Mixed into pasta
- Added to soups
- As a topping for casseroles
To prepare, you can cook the vegetable medley directly from frozen. Many people choose to steam it in a pot on the stovetop or microwave it in a microwave-safe dish. You can also add it to simmering soups or stews to cook through. For a more roasted flavor, spread the frozen vegetables on a baking sheet and roast them in a hot oven until tender and slightly browned. Season with your favorite herbs and spices before serving.
How it differs from similar foods
This medley differs from single-vegetable frozen options by offering a pre-selected combination. The inclusion of romanesco provides a unique, slightly nutty flavor and a visually appealing spiral pattern not found in standard mixes. The balance of textures from the crisp green beans and softer peas creates a more complex eating experience.

How to keep the rest
After opening the package, ensure it is resealed tightly to prevent freezer burn. Store the remaining frozen vegetables in your freezer. It is best to use them within the recommended timeframe to maintain optimal quality and flavor.
