    IFV (usually birdseye brand in my fav haunts) baby green beans, baby peas, white corn. If I don’t have all three in my freezer I get a little nervous.

    Iirc, they can be healthier than fresh veggies too because they’re usually flash frozen shortly after harvesting, whereas “fresh” veggies could’ve been picked weeks or even months ago. Same with canning. Think about how you can get “fresh” strawberries in the middle of winter.

      Interesting take. It does kinda make sense, but they also taste a bit bland and just less in general to me. I still use them, though. Because it’s so quick and convenient

        It’s not most of the broccoli stems I mind, it’s just the woody parts. The parts that no matter how long you chew on them they don’t break up. If you don’t know what I mean, lucky you I guess.

    Frozen vegetables are a go to for me in many cases with some exceptions. I have two rhetorical questions though: Why is it so hard to find frozen carrots on their own? Why is it so hard to find frozen mixed veggies without peas?

      I think I’ve seen frozen carrots but now that I think about it I’m not so sure. LOL I think you maybe right. My guess would be because they’re so cheap and easily sourced that fresh is better maybe?

        Yeah I don’t have a problem with buying fresh carrots and I could always freeze them myself. Just seems odd to me.

    They are quite a lot more expensive here, than fresh vegetables 🤔

    Also they seem to have a lot of waste included in the bag. Especially broccoli and cauliflower seem to be partially filled with bits and pieces that are too small to use

      “Broccoli florets” is what you want the bag to say. A bag of “broccoli cuts” includes stalks and stems, which is why it costs less.
