Pictsweet Deluxe Steam'ables Spring Vegetables Review

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.

Pictsweet Deluxe Steam'ables Asian Vegetables Review

Believe it or not, one of the highlights of the freezer section for me is the collection of frozen vegetables. There is such a wide variety of options, and everything is precut, easy to prepare, and super healthy with lots of vitamins and minerals. Pictsweet Deluxe Steam'ables Asian Vegetables have all those qualities and more.

Steaming the vegetables in their own bag inside the microwave was quite convenient and produced veggies that were ready to eat. The vegetables include broccoli, carrots, green beans, sugar snap peas, celery, and red peppers. They were fairly crisp amidst the "Oriental seasoning" (AKA soy sauce), and the sauce itself was decent and reminded me of a Chinese restaurant. I appreciate the concern to make vegetables taste better (although I also like plain veggies), but after my intuitive amount of shaking the bag after steaming, there wasn't an equal distribution of the sauce over all the vegetables. As a result, some bites had minimal sauce while others had a very strong soy flavor. This minor problem could be easily avoided by shaking the bag more or by mixing the veggies more on your plate, but I do think it's worth mentioning.
