california mix

A typical California blend frozen vegetable mix contains carrots, broccoli and cauliflower.

The dried mixed fruit includes prunes, apricots, plums, apple rings, nectarines, peaches, pears, kiwi slices and pineapple.

They can be microwaved or heated on the stovetop. One example lists microwaving on high for 4 minutes, stirring, then an additional 5½–7½ minutes, or cooking on the stovetop for about 9–12 minutes.

These products appear as whole pieces, sliced or cut pieces, and in some cases ready-to-eat or prepared formats.

The results include dried mixed fruit blends, California-grown raisins, frozen California vegetable blends (carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, including cheesy sauced versions), and savory protein snack mixes.

Label attributes include Certified Kosher (OU Parve) and Vegan for dried fruit; USDA-certified organic and gluten-free/peanut-free/tree-nut-free for raisins; "nothing artificial" claims for frozen vegetables; SNAP & EBT eligibility; and nutrition-focused notes on protein, fiber and low sugar for snack mixes.

Origins vary: some items state they were grown in California, others are labeled "Packed in the USA" or "Country of Origin: United States," and one lists "Country of Origin: Varies, Please See Label."
