Choice report into frozen vegetable mixes
Posted by kathryn in Vegetables
Choice has a report on exotic frozen vegetables. You may have noticed the increase in variety of vegetables in the frozen food section of your local supermarket. While every pack used to contain peas, carrots and corn, you can now buy all sorts of mixes containing bok choy, sugar snap peas, broccoli, water chestnuts and so on.
I’ve posted before about all the frozen stir fry mixes available, some of which are excellent. Some brands are expensive, although most are reasonably priced. The ones containing sauce packets tend to be more expensive and given the sauces are usually really high in salt, I’d suggest avoiding them all together.
Frozen vegies are a quick and easy way to get a few servings of vegies in the evening. You don’t have to chop anything up, plus frozen vegies are packed full of nutrients, so it’s worthwhile having a few packets in the freezer as a back-up.

I keep a couple of packets of frozen vegies for those times when time restricts you from peeling and preparing your own. As you mentioned Kathryn, I find them reasonably priced and although they’re not as good as the ‘fresh’ variety straight from the grocer, they’re certainly better than not consuming any vegies!
