minus-squareDuenan@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·8 days agoThe woollies homebrand peas are really dreadful. No matter how I cook them or for how long theyre hard and starchy. It’s so dreadful, thank god I managed to get peas from Aldi. I didn’t notice the Aldi peas being like that but I’ll find out in the next few days if I was just imagining it.
minus-squaremelbaboutown@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·8 days agoProbably left a bit long before harvest? You could treat them like the starchy marrowfat peas. Have some mushy peas with a pie or fish and chips
minus-squareDuenan@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·8 days agoI’m almost done with the pack so I’ll be rid of them soon. Just had enough after 3kg of them.
minus-squareMeanElevator@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·8 days agoAldi frozen stuff is usually solid in quality. I think most of it is packed in Europe, so that might be why.
minus-squareCEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·8 days agoTheir frozen green beans are shit. A lot of stalks in there. They might’ve changed now. It’s been years since I bought them from there.
minus-squareMeanElevator@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·8 days agoI have never found good frozen green beans. It’s a veggie we always get fresh.
minus-squareCEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·8 days agoI use both. Frozen beans are usually an after thought in a stir fry to balance the colours.
minus-squareMeanElevator@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·8 days agoAh yes, the bulk up so the food has some colour and apparent nutrition 😜 We do the same. If it looks too ‘meaty’, peas, carrots and corn add a bit of fibre
minus-squareDuenan@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·8 days agoYeah. I normally get most of my frozen veg from Aldi now, seemed to be better in quality.
