Even after

the holiday ends, frozen vegetables are always good to have on hand. They're

convenient, fresh tasting and, contrary to popular belief, contain just

as many nutrients as produce at your local grocery store.

According to

the farmers at Birds Eye, using a flash-freezing technique locks in flavor,

texture and nutrients, and helps to ensure a long shelf life. This process

also guarantees the fresh quality of vegetables without artificial preservatives.

In fact, it

is recommended that you eat five servings of fruits and vegetables per

day to maintain a healthy lifestyle. To help increase your vegetable consumption,

consider the following dishes to complement your holiday meal or to create

tasty leftovers.
