minus-square@waz@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink6•1 year agoFrozen vegetables. They all grew out of the same earth, possibly even at the same farm. The only difference is the packaging.
minus-square@Alborlin@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink4•1 year agoIt’s fine to buy , but tastes differ A LOT. try it with same veggie frozen and fresh, you can taste the difference right away
minus-square@jkjustjoshing@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink12•1 year agoThe comment is comparing generic to brand-name frozen vegetables, not frozen to fresh vegetables
minus-square@garbagebagel@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink1•1 year agoThe packaging can make a big difference though so make sure to use extra care with some no name stuff. The food inside will get freezer burned way quicker with a lot of the shittier no name packaging.
