Green Giant Cheesy Riced Cauliflower & Broccoli


 Green Giant Cheesy Riced Cauliflower & Broccoli is an example of their simple steam line which means they are individually packed, boxed to store easily, and have fat of some kind added. In this case, the fat is cheese.

The cheese doesn't run fully into the vegetables making them something that has good bits and bad bits and an inconsistent taste. There is too little broccoli, and the cheese has little flavor.  

The way to eat this is to add it into something else like an omelet where you can add a few flavors like pepper or onion, if you like that sort of thing, and change the texture of the food.  

This is better than having no vegetables at all but false short of what I would call healthy. I wouldn't get this again and I would never use it as intended.

Green Giant Broccoli, Cauliflower, Carrots & Cheese Sauce


 Green Giant Broccoli, Cauliflower, Carrots & Cheese Sauce looks so much better on the box because the box has better ingredients on it. I guess these simple steam packs are just made for low quality vegetable cuts. 

To say it was disappointing is a little harsh, given that I knew what I was getting into when I saw these having tried a few of these simple steam items before. Still, they are sad for vegetables. 

I guess we as Americans should eat more ugly vegetables to reduce food waste.

Green Giant Simple Steam Shoepeg White Corn & Butter Sauce


 Really Green Giant, Shoepeg White Corn? I had to look up Shoepeg White Corn just to figure out what it was. I'm not that posh. Shoepeg White Corn is sweet corn known for tasting like nothing but being sweet. I have to ask if the slender kernels reminded someone of the wooden pegs used for shoe making and said 'shoe peg', let's call it that.

This Green Giant Simple Steam Shoepeg White Corn & Butter Sauce is for people who think corn is a vegetable and like to serve it on it's own. 

It's not bad for that but I'd still rather put it in my eggs and have a good time. I have succotash omelettes on the regular. 

This is a fine way to eat corn if you're bland and have picky kids but keep some pepper or hot sauce on the side for folks who need flavor in their life. Past that, not bad. I would get this again.
