Best frozen steamed veggies

some is?

avoid the ones that are loaded with fats, salt, their own special seasoning, and "butter" toppings

avoid mixes in general, just buy straight up and look at the ingredient

What this anon said. Frozen veggies can actually be more rich in nutrients compared to their "fresh" supermarket brethren because they are picked at the height of their ripeness. Just avoid mixes and don't ever buy anything with "sauce" on it.

What's so bad about frozen veggies with sauces or seasoning? In the big picture aren't they still overall healthy?

What's a good way to season plain veggies? By the way I cook them in my microwave, if that makes a difference.

Well for one they aren't as versatile to use since they are pretty much prepared for you, you lose nutrients if you cook vegetables in fats. I also find they become mushy when they are covered in frozen sauce "butter" or seasoning, probably has to do with the way the liquid thaws and soft boils the vegetables. If something is preseasoned it also harder to control the seasoning. You can always add seasoning to something for taste, you can't remove it.

I mean if you are just going to cook them in the microwave and can't cook at all outside that then yeah, doesn't sound like you'll be eating much outside of hot pockets and TV dinners so they are healthier in that aspect.

Frozen broccoli and Brussels sprouts are cheap enough at Trader Joe's. I get them for when I run out of fresh stuff. But myrosinase enzyme will no longer present so you'll need to add some mustard powder if you want the full antioxidant benefit.

my go to is frozen green beans or brussel sprouts, steamed, quickly sauteed w/ garlic and either olive oil or sesame oil
