[QUESTION] How would I substitute fresh fruit and vegetables in a recipe with frozen equivalents? (feddit.online)

Hi again y'all,

Sorry for flooding the community, but I'm currently been trying to find new recipes to work with, and came across one that called for fresh green beans. I have a bag of frozen ones, and am curious as to whether or not I can use the frozen ones I have as a substitute.

In general I was curious that if I were to substitute fresh produce with frozen, if there would be anything I'd need to keep in mind. Would the cooking time differ? Would I need to thaw the frozen produce prior? Is some produce unable to be substituted with frozen equivalents?

Thanks for help in advance.

Well texture is the biggest thing you need to be vary of depending on how you're cooking it you might need to alter something. Some produce is parboiled before being frozen too. For a soup as you mentioned is perhaps the best place to utilise frozen veggies, the texture isn't an issue nor fo you ga e to worry about defrosting it first. Just pop it in. Peas for example are basically cooked before being frozen, I'm not sure about asparagus but just check em after they've thawed in your soup.
