Pictsweet Deluxe Steam'ables Spring Vegetables
By: | Sep 8, 2009
I bought these Pictsweet Deluxe Steam'ables Spring Vegetables because of the colorful mix that I saw on the front of the bag. Seeing all the veggies pre-cut was an added bonus. I don't mind cutting vegetables, but you have to buy a lot of different vegetables to create a mix, which can get pretty pricey.
The product was even more appealing with the steamable microwave bag and the ground peppercorn seasoning. The vegetables include squash, carrots, asparagus, onions, and red pepper which, upon microwaving as directed, turned out with a firm texture. The sauce really fits with the veggies. It's light and adds just the right amount of flavoring, and you can even see little specks of seasoning along with all the vegetables.
Each 3/4 cup serving of Pictsweet Deluxe Steam'ables Spring Vegetables provides 30 calories, no fat or cholesterol, 200 milligrams of sodium (8% of the daily value), 1 gram of protein and 5 grams of carbohydrates which includes 1 gram of dietary fiber and 3 grams of sugars. Each serving also provides 15% of the daily recommendations of vitamin A and 10% of vitamin C.
A 12 ounce bag of Pictsweet Deluxe Steam'ables is $1.99 at Kroger, but I was lucky enough to get them on sale for $1. There is a wide variety of vegetables to eat, and they taste delicious with the seasoning, so I would definitely buy the Pictsweet Deluxe Steam'ables Spring Vegetables again.

Is there any danger, from a nutritional standpoint, to cooking vegetables in a microwave or eating vegetables that come packed in a plastic bag?
How many servings are in a bag? This looks like an awesome find! Add some brown rice and chicken and it would make a balanced meal...
I'd probably steam it myself rather than nuking it in the microwave. Frozen veggies are great for stirfry.
@Rahim Steaming vegetables in the microwave one of the best ways to cook vegetables from a nutrition standpoint. No nutrients are lost while cooking. Frozen vegetables are also better for you than other vegetables unless they have been freshly picked within hours. Frozen veggies are picked, and flashed frozen while the vegetables are still fresh. Many things you buy at the grocery store produce section has been picked, processed, shipped and stored. The bag is also a specially made bag that doesn't deteriorate in any way when heated. I love all of these new steam products and have been using all of them since they were introduced. If I'm not using the bags I place my veggies on a plate in the microwave covered with a damp paper towel.
