Birds Eye says: The bags inside this package are special. Simply place one in your microwave and watch it inflate as it perfectly steams your vegetables right in the bag! Your vegetables retain their natural goodness, crisp texture and fresh taste. Steaming with Birds Eye has never been easier.

Abi says: I bought these peas because I thought it’d be good to branch out from Green Giant’s vegetable monopoly on Heat Eat Review. Also, I was curious as to whether these peas would be better than the 99¢ bags of peas that I usually use. Would I really notice that steaming was better than boiling or microwaving in a bit of water?

Uh, no. These peas are no better than the cheap ones from the bag. They taste just like every other frozen pea product I’ve ever had in my life. Really, this product is just the 100-Calorie Portion version of vegetables. Except that plain vegetables are low calorie in the first place. Have you ever heard of anyone getting fat off of plain sweet peas? Probably not.

Sure, these peas were fine, but they weren’t worth four times the price of regular peas. Also, they didn’t do anything to speed up my couscous-making process. Usually I throw in the peas just before the water boils, giving them time to heat and steam along with the couscous, a process faster than heating the peas separately in the microwave.

“But Abi,” you’re saying “won’t these peas be great for me as a person who work in an office? I can just steam a few at a time!” and to that I say “Get yourself one of those Green Giant vegetable packages. They contain two servings and involve vegetables that you can actually stab with a fork.”

HeatEatReview.com finally gets into the ‘healthy-foods’ game with Veda’s review of Birds Eye Veggies. Did you know that frozen vegetables are often fresher than the ones found in the refrigerated cases at your store? Yes, it is true.

Birds Eye says: Carrots, asparagus, sugar snap peas and red peppers with zesty cilantro and lime

Veda says: I am so glad that I bought this. As directed, I popped the dish into the microwave, with the film intact and let the veggies steam for a couple minutes. Once I finally peeled the plastic film back (thanks to Ryan for helping me, because it was basically super-glued), I found perfectly cooked veggies. The yummy blend of asparagus, snap peas, peppers and carrots was crisp and juicy, with just the right amount of onion, garlic and zesty cilantro. Not only did it smell and look wonderful, but it tasted even better. Good job, Birds Eye. I’ll be back for more!
