WASTE FREE Frozen Vegetables make portion control the rule, not the exception, in any kitchen. You’ll be able to prepare only what’s needed and easily store the rest, avoiding losses that inevitably result in fresh vegetables from waste. Every ounce of frozen vegetables is edible ... there’s no waste from peeling, coring, paring, and other methods of preparation.

That means you get exactly what you pay for,

unlike fresh produce with waste by weight accounting for 33% in green beans, 57% in broccoli, 30% in carrots, and 31% in cauliflower.
