Frozen veggie bags beat fresh for my meal prep, I was wrong for doubting
I used to swear fresh broccoli and peppers were the only way, but last month I grabbed a 2 lb bag of frozen mixed veggies for $2.50 at Aldi after my fresh stuff went bad twice in one week. Threw it in my usual stir fry with chicken thighs and honestly, the texture held up better than the sad fresh produce I'd been buying. Then I started checking the nutrition labels and the frozen stuff had more vitamin C after cooking, which surprised me. Why are we all acting like frozen is trash when it saves money and doesn't rot in the fridge? Has anyone else done a side by side taste test or am I the last one to figure this out?
