It's often said that frozen peas taste as good as (and are as healthy as) the fresh variety. Are there any other tasty frozen veggies out there? I really need to increase my veg consumption and the 'fresh' stuff I buy at the weekends has usually gone off by the latter half of the week. Sorry in advance for such a mundane question, but I reckon there must be some other time-constrained mums out there who have reliable freezer fallbacks.

I like waitrose grilled mixed vegetables - good to toss into pasta sauce for a bit of a veg boost when I don't feel like cooking.

Sweetcorn and chopped spinach are also staples in my freezer - chopped spinach can go in just about any sauce or on its own, frozen sweetcorn is far nicer frozen than tinned, though it's hard to beat fresh at this time of year.

Hi uptime! Hope you're ok.


We have in our freezer as staples frozen peas, frozen sweet corn (only just discovered this) and a bag of mixed chipped veg from sainos which is surprisingly nice. I only really use them for E's dinner as they microwave in about 90seconds so v handy. Also have frozen chopped spinach which is really handy to throw into pasta. I also use that sometimes to make creamed spinach for us.


Apparently waitrose do a nice rice and mixed veg which is handy for dinner in a rush for the kids with goujons etc.

yeah, agree about frozen broad beans. also frozen corn on the cob.

also slightly off topic but am a recent convert to frozen bags of rice you can pop in the microwave...

And jamie oliver frozen fishcakes are great - maybe bit small for adults unless you have 3, but good size for the kids. sorry I know these aren't veg!

oh - frozen berries good too - my son likes eating frozen strawberries for some reason.

Broad beans, sweetcorn, edamame and artichoke bottoms in our freezer (in addition to peas of course!). Also tend to freeze left over pulses when I've only used part of a tin so they get added into meals too.


When Baby Knomester was little I also used to make batches of sweet potato wedges and freeze those so they were ready to eat. Same with any veg really - I'd cook extra when we were having it and pop into bags in the freezer (good way to make sure veg isn't wasted too).


Not been able to order edamame from Ocado recently for some reason - always out of stock - but they sell them in SMBS on Lordship Lane.

    • Sometime in the mid 80s, the first incarnation was on Peckham Rye near the new old Tesco’s
    • Off topic (ish) but does anyone else remember when Blue Mountain opened? They had chocolate coated coffee beans and a range of coffee beans sold loose, and I can't remember whether it was freshly baked  bread or rolls or croissants or  something else, but my then partner used to go and buy it/them in the morning. And behind the part with the counter, it was divided into several little rooms, all different colours and styles. There was another room upstairs, though I can't remember if that was open from the beginning  It was great. It went through many incarnations after that, before eventually sadly closing, but I liked the first one best. Also off topic (ish) there was a Greek? Turkish? deli opposite. My then partner bought some yoghurt there once, and when he got it home he found it was months (I think) past its sell by date. He took it back. The guy in the shop opened it up, looked at it, sniffed it and said "There's nothing wrong with that." 😂
    • However, some would particularly like to avoid reviews of the 'there are far too many mice'; 'the cakes are deteriorating badly' nature. If you consider that a 'Negative Nelly' response. My experience was that the hot drinks and the varieties of e.g. teas on offer, were generally a positive element. As were the staff serving. 
    • The hare krishna restaurant is called Govindas and still going strong in Soho Street, a different establishment to the one that used to be (still is?) in Hanway Street. I must go back to Govindas some time
