when you buy frozen veggies in a bag (ie. broccoli florets) have they been already cooked or did they get frozen straight after picking ????????<img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/sweatdrop.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=":sweat:">

Yes, with the exception of onions and peppers. They're blanched to stop action of enzymes that would otherwise make them tough and ruin the flavor.

Though I've found frozen broccoli florets tend to be tough with icky flavor anyway! <i>Chopped</i> broccoli on the other hand -- is ok for some reason.<br><br><br><br>
But you can just eat frozen veg as is, if you want to. Sometimes I munch on frozen peas.
