I've taken to buying frozen vegetable lately, because we just don't eat enough of them to warrant buying fresh, each week I was throwing away more than we were eating. It's not that I don't want to eat healthily, it's just that we tend to eat more pasta and salads than we do meals that have vegetable accompaniments. Frozen veg of course solve that dilemma because they don't go off, and you can just take out as much as you need. Nutritional Information The nutritional information for these is just an average, because it depends on how much of each item you get in your selection.

With a short notice dinner to prepare for nine I nipped into Asda and brought a bag of this mixed veg. I got it home and tipped it into a saucepan of water, put it on to boil and thought no more about it whilst I prepared the chops and potatoes for the veg to accompany. I must have missed this info on the packaging because rather than the mixed veg that I'm used to, which includes broccoli, cauliflower and baby carrots, this bag provided diced carrots.

We all sat ...  Read the complete review
