FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
How long do frozen peas and carrots last?
They typically maintain best quality for 8 to 12 months in the freezer if kept at a constant temperature.
Are frozen peas and carrots as healthy as fresh?
Yes, they are usually flash-frozen shortly after harvest, which preserves most of their vitamins and minerals.
Do I need to wash frozen peas and carrots?
No, they are washed and blanched before being frozen, so they are ready to cook straight from the bag.
What is the best way to cook them to keep them crunchy?
Steaming or quick sautéing is best. Avoid boiling them for long periods as they will become mushy.
Can I use them in fried rice?
Yes, they are a classic addition to fried rice; add them toward the end of cooking so they heat through without overcooking.
How can I tell if they have freezer burn?
Look for white, dried-out patches or an excessive amount of ice crystals inside the bag.
What can I substitute for this mix?
You can use a mix of fresh diced carrots and fresh shelled peas, or other frozen vegetable blends like peas and corn.
Are there any allergens in frozen peas and carrots?
Plain frozen peas and carrots are naturally free of common allergens, but always check the label for cross-contamination warnings.
Can I eat them raw/frozen?
While safe if processed under strict hygiene, it is recommended to cook them briefly to ensure any potential surface bacteria are eliminated.
