broccoli carrot mix

Many are sold in steam-in-bag or microwaveable bags that let you heat the contents in the bag or empty them for stovetop cooking; product descriptions also emphasize quick prep and heat-and-serve convenience.

Some products are plain steamable or microwaveable vegetable blends intended as side dishes or recipe ingredients, while others come pre-seasoned or with sauce (for example, a teriyaki stir-fry mix with sweet teriyaki sauce). Steam-in-bag options are typically described as plain and free of artificial flavors or preservatives.

Stir-fry mixes are intended for skillet or stovetop cooking (one listing notes about 9 minutes in a skillet) and are suggested as a side or as the vegetable base for a stir-fry meal when combined with meat, rice, or noodles.

Product details list origins including the United States, France, Belgium, Portugal, Spain, Poland, and China.

Descriptions commonly suggest using the mixes as warm side dishes, adding them to grain bowls, pasta dishes, or salads, and incorporating them into stir-fries or meals with meat, rice, or noodles.
