Green Giant Valley Fresh Steamers Review

For more than a hundred years, the Green Giant Company hasn't just been getting older, it's been getting better too.  Though it is now owned by General Mills, the Green Giant trademark is still like "sterling" on silver -- probably the best there is in frozen vegetables.  Instead of resting on their laurels, Green Giant has come up with a modern convenient way to cook up a hot veggie dish for supper -- Green Giant Valley Fresh Steamers.  It doesn't get easier than this -- just stick the bag in the microwave and heat according to instructions.

Valley Fresh Steamers cost between $2 and $3 for a 12-oz. package.  If this is part of a balanced dinner, you can get about four servings out of a package.  The product comes in various flavors:  Broccoli and Cheese Sauce; Sugar Sweet Corn and Butter Sauce; Broccoli, Carrots, Cauliflower and Cheese Sauce; Roasted Red Potatoes, Green Beans and Rosemary Butter Sauce; Cheesy Rice and Broccoli and Asian Style Medley.  Also featured are these less fancy but just as good varieties:  Broccoli Cuts, Chopped Broccoli, Cut Green Beans, Extra Sweet Niblets Corn, Niblets Corn, Mixed Vegetables and Sweet Peas.  I chose Niblets Corn, which was absolutely delicious.
