How do you cook the steamable bags?

The bags are designed to go straight into the microwave; follow the bag's time and vent instructions. You can also empty the florets into a steamer or boiling water. Stop cooking while they are still bright green and slightly firm.

Are these florets or chopped pieces?

They are florets, so expect heads with short stems rather than diced pieces. Size varies from bag to bag, which matters if you want even cooking.

Is frozen broccoli as nutritious as fresh?

It is picked and frozen quickly, so vitamin C holds up well in the freezer. Expect similar nutrition to fresh broccoli that has spent days in transit.

How should I store the bags?

Keep them frozen until use and reseal or transfer any leftovers, since repeated thawing softens the florets. Use opened bags within a few weeks for best texture.

Can I use it in soups and stir-fries?

Yes. Add florets near the end of cooking so they don't go mushy, or drop them in frozen for soups. For stir-fries, thaw and drain first to avoid excess water.
