I would just like to add: frozen peas and spinach are amazing. Doesn’t spoil, can easily be added to pots or pans and often tastes better than the fresh alternative for a fraction of the price.
Put them in a small bowl and microwave for a minute or two, add butter or olive oil and salt and pepper and you have a delicious, cheap and healthy hot side dish to any meal.
I’ve also experimented with buying frozen soup vegetables as an easy shortcut when making broth. Carrots and onions usually come out with a poor texture after being frozen but they are discarded when cooking stock.
- andybak 4y agoFrozen veg is usually healthier and fresher than "fresh". The only reason to avoid it is because the texture changes. If you're making a casserole or anything where "crunch" doesn't matter then there's no reason not to use frozen.
- anthonypasq 4y agofrozen spinach is not even remotely similar to fresh spinach
- samatman 4y agoFlash-frozen spinach is basically identical to wilted spinach once it's in the pan. It's obviously not a salad ingredient. No one was claiming it is.
- andybak 4y agoIt is when sufficiently cooked. But that aside, spinach was a weird example to choose to disagree on considering I used the word "crunch"
