whats the best frozen veg?

Cat501

I get peas and cauli from Farmfoods (£2 for 3 bags) and broccoli also from FF, it always looks nice and green unlike some other frozen broc I've tried which tends to have yellowing bits.

I also like the FF mash, but have started buying their bags of potatoes (4kg for £1) in a money-saving effort.

In the past I've had frozen mushrooms and sliced mixed peppers from FF, if I had more room in the freezer I'd have them again because they're a good standby and fresh peppers are so expensive.

Spike the only place I have found frozen leeks is Farmfoods.

I buy most of my veg frozen brocolli, cauliflower, peas, sweetcorn, fine beans, broadbeans, endamame, spinach. Not keen on frozen carrots though.

I also buy sliced prozen peppers, those are a big saving.

You can even get purple carrots!:o

Jojo I like the idea of checking out the ethnic grocery stores - will put this on my "things to do when Mr LW is available to help me" list.;)

We usually have frozen spinach, mash, baby broad beans, sometimes peppers and recently sprouts. OH is fussy about other types of frozen veg - the texture is 'wrong', apparently. Don't mind it myself! I like having stuff in the freezer so you aren't worried about things like spinach going off before you can use it up!

all of them we use about 90% frozen veg i buy value mixed veg to bulk things out and i use loads of frozen peas and sweetcorn, i looked into it awhile back and tinned carrots were cheaper than frozen so i tried these they were quite good altho i only used them in a casarole i would buy them again, we buy mixed,spinage,brocolli, cauliflower,green beans, mixed peppers,peas, sweetcorn, mixed cauliflower/brocolli bags for lazy nights

We've got an allotment, so currently in the freezer we have leeks, broad beans, carrots, cauliflower, green beans, parsnips. We buy in peas and sweetcorn.

I like them all, couldn't say a favourite.

When we need to buy veg, I shall buy carrots, parsnips, sprouts - if its still winter,maybe a red cabbage and freeze these. Oh and leeks for casseroles.

Or knowing me, whatever is on offer

Frozen broccoli and spinach are faves here, but I love any kind of frozen vegetable. I have recently been thinking about getting frozen mushrooms as the price of fresh has really gone up lately (to my mind, anyway) and they never seem to last as long as you need them to without going floppy and yuck.
