Another way of looking at this is that in the best case frozen plus microwave veg mix can match up to a way of cooking fresh veggies that is easy but with bland results, and only that if you ignore texture.... I occasionally steam veg, but more often Blanche and then do something else with them, not something that works as well with frozen. Also, losing texture isn't a small thing.
