Frozen Veg

[mumtosomeone]

What is your opinion in feeding it to little ones?

[hercules]

It often has more vitamins than 'fresh' veg you buy from supermarkets which has often been hanging around for daysa.

[Nbg]

I always keep a bag of those birds eye steam fresh ones in just in case.

[WigWamBam]

Agree with Hercules - frozen veg is fine, it's often got more goodness than fresh veg.

[hercules]

Microwaving it saves even more vitamins too.

[mumtosomeone]

thanks!
Was feeling a bit guilty about giving it to him, but I dont get to buy fresh every day and he loves it!

And have you discovered frozen...

chopped onions
peppers
mushroons

make casseroles, omlettes and stirfrys so easy

[LilacLotus]

i freeze my own. blanche the veg, let them cool and put in freezerbags. easy!

[hunkermunker]

Absolutely fine, often fresher than the stuff that's been hanging round on the shelves. Tesco do organic frozen veg too

[gingerbear]

Best to cook it first. Bit crunchy otherwise

[lunachic]

its fine occasionally very handy better than tins
read that frozen peas were the most nutritious frozen food you can get !?? (honestly !)

[hunkermunker]

I sometimes eat frozen peas raw. Nice, but probably killing me slowly or some other horror story.

[nannyjo]

freezing locks in the vitamins i think,

Taste nicer than some fresh stuff to like peas. yum

If you only shop once a week as i do, a lot of the "fresh" veg lose their vitamins by the time they are cooked 5 or 6 days later. Frozen mixed veg are my lifeline for the kids - i use a bag at least every 10 days.
