14 Frozen Vegetable Brands, Ranked Worst To Best

Whether you're searching for more greens in your diet or trying to save on your grocery bill, frozen vegetables can be an excellent substitute for fresh produce. The produce department is home to its share of budget-friendly veggies, but few can compare with the low prices of frozen selections. Plus, you can use frozen vegetables for soups, stews, and casseroles year-round when seasonal vegetables are out of stock. And while the nutritional value of frozen vegetables may vary, some — like broccoli and corn — have been associated with higher vitamin content than their fresh counterparts.

You may think all frozen vegetables are more or less the same, but there are substantial differences in quality and taste from brand to brand. No one wants to bite into flavorless peas and carrots with their Salisbury steak, or worse, encounter alien flavors and textures from Franken-veggie cuts. Thus, we sought to find the best frozen vegetables available, stacking dozens of varieties against each other in fierce competition. So go ahead and let those lackluster lima beans catch freezer burn — you won't need them once you've read our ranking of the best frozen vegetables.
