Aldi frozen stuff is usually solid in quality. I think most of it is packed in Europe, so that might be why.

Yeah. I normally get most of my frozen veg from Aldi now, seemed to be better in quality.

Their frozen green beans are shit. A lot of stalks in there. They might’ve changed now. It's been years since I bought them from there.

I have never found good frozen green beans. It's a veggie we always get fresh.

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I use both. Frozen beans are usually an after thought in a stir fry to balance the colours.

Ah yes, the bulk up so the food has some colour and apparent nutrition 😜

We do the same. If it looks too 'meaty', peas, carrots and corn add a bit of fibre
