Frozen vegetables are OP here. Cheap, frozen at peak freshness, still nutritious.
A pound of leafy greens is dirt cheap and won't go bad for months.
Frozen fruits are great too, especially for smoothies. Really easy way to get nutrient-dense carbs in.
- darkwizard42 2y agoThe secret has always been frozen chopped spinach. Absurdly cheap, doesn't go bad, blends/melts away into EVERYTHING! (Pasta, soups, beans for tacos, whatever). I will note, the hard limit is you can't actually use it in a salad... but hey, tradeoffs
- bagels 2y agoFrozen spinach is the least appetizing frozen food in existence. Soggy mush. Much better frozen choices for vegetables.
- CobaltFire 2y agoYou missed the point that you put it in other things where it has minimal impact on the texture and taste.
- darkwizard42 2y agoYeah, I don't think you are going to taste much of that in a stew (which is by definition a soggy mush). As noted you don't want to use this for anything fresh where mostly fresh vegetables will be superior.
