Vegetables, mixed, frozen, unprepared

This entry describes a frozen mixture of vegetables before cooking or other preparation. Such blends commonly contain cut vegetables such as peas, carrots, corn, or beans, but the exact contents, proportions, and cut sizes differ among products. Freezing preserves separate pieces with the colours and mild flavours of their component vegetables; texture after thawing or cooking depends on the blend and handling.

The mixture is generally cooked before serving, though particular uses depend on the vegetables and package directions. It may be boiled, steamed, or cooked as part of another dish. This description identifies the unprepared frozen form, not a particular branded blend or a fixed recipe.
