20 Best Vegetables For Thanksgiving (2022 Updated)

I’ve tried all the canned spinach brands available at Walmart. Popeye spinach used to be ok but in the last three years the quality has changed. they now use what I think are older leaves, the spinach is coarser and more fibrous than Del Monte’s brand, and i find that less appealing.

it also doesn’t work as well in some recipes because of the poor quality. i recommend buying del Monte when you can find it. I do not recommend Popeyes brand of canned spinach.

I have been eating their 6lb cans for a while now and just found this odd looking whole cricket shrimp looking thing in a can. When I looked around on the net I saw others post images of the same looking bug.

I do not recognized and its a whole large bug. If this stuffs processed right there shouldn’t be whole bugs at all. I understand they are allowed a certain % of bugs, but not whole ones. I will spare you the image and this comes from a family that knows they eat bugs in food like weevils in so on.

Its like they are making no effort to keep the bugs out or even hide them in it.

Allens Popeye Spinach used to be my favorite brand of canned spinach. The last time I bought and ate a can of this, it was the worst can of spinach I have ever eaten. The spinach inside the can did not taste or look fresh at all.

I realize you are paying a considerable amount of money for the copywritten Popeye image and name. That should be matched with an equally high quality product inside the can. Unfortunately, this isn’t so.

I really enjoy and love every sense I was a kid. However, if they do not have this particular brand in the store then I have to refuse this product all together. There is absolutely no substitution for these particular beans.

To be canned peas, these are actually good!! It’s Moro or whatever is “homemade made easy” and it is a scale under my grandma and almost just as good. Of course I added some seasoning but I would definitely purchase this brand again 👍.

Farmer’s Market Pumpkin Puree has the closest flavor to real sugar pumpkins I can find, even though pumpkins were actually cultivated from winter squash. The other brands taste more like winter squash and do not give you a true pumpkin taste.

Farmer’s market is by far the best I have had to to date. Price is very fair but the flavor is what makes this such an outstanding buy!.

I pour a little into Apple Juice with Pumpkin Pie Spice, for tasty fiber, minerals, and beta carotene for my body to manufacture Vitamin A. I refrigerate or freeze the remainder in glass jars for Pumpkin Pancakes with Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips, and for Pumpkin Pie with Coconut Sugar.

I expect this consistent quality organically grown and processed safer and more nutritious Pumpkin Puree makes great soup too.

I use this canned pumpkin in quick-bread and pumpkin butter. It’s flavorful, creamy, salt-free and sugar-free. Don’t leave leftovers in the can, though. Since the can is truly BPA free, pumpkin left in an opened can will begin to have a metallic twang.

To solve this problem, I just make the pumpkin bread and the pumpkin butter on the same day so I won’t have leftovers.

Coming from an Italian family: Muir Glen products including the crushed tomatoes are the best. When I couldn’t find my normal brand during the pandemic, I asked my mom, who has been making sauce for more more years than I, if Muir Glen was good.

She said it’s EXCELLENT. So, with that, I bought some and this is my preferred brand. It is The Best for sauce, stews, soups, etc. (Now if only my Target would stock the whole line and keep it stocked, I would be so happy.

) If you can find it, buy it, and may I also say Target curbside is an excellent and easy way to get it.

I ordered 6 of these, as I have difficulty finding “no salt added” products locally. Unfortunately, every single one of these cans arrived dented. Since it is not recommended to consume food from dented cans, they went into the garbage.

I requested a replacement, 1 of the replacement cans was also dented. My order (including other items) was very poorly packaged, as was the replacement order. There were a couple of pieces of bubble wrap thrown into the flimsy box with the cans, but the cans were free to roll around and bump up against each other during shipment.

The bubble wrap provided no protection whatsoever. Other items in the shipment were damaged as well. I will not be ordering anything that is not totally indestructable frrom Target again.

I buy these tomatoes almost every time I place an order to have them on hand. Organic, Non-GMO, Non-BPA Lining, and no extra added ingredients. We use them to make a super easy, but really good pasta sauce.

For really quick sauce, I just use a can of these tomatoes and add in spices or any fresh herbs on hand. For added protein and extra veggies, saute chopped onions, carrots, and garlic in a saucepan. Add in some ground Italian sausage and cook until browned.

Next, add in a can of these tomatoes & some basil, oregano, garlic powder, salt & pepper to taste. Let simmer for a few minutes and then add in some fresh spinach and simmer until it wilts. Sometimes I also add in red pepper flakes for an extra spicy kick too.

So easy, fresh, clean, and nutritious!.

Too soft/mushy. I tried two varieties, the red potatoes, zucchini, onion, and the Brussels sprouts, butternut squash, onion. The onion seems to do fine in both versions, but the potatoes and squash texture was as though they’d been cooked, frozen, and then cooked again.

The zucchini was way mushy too. The Brussels sprouts were ok.

I love broccoli and I like to keep a lot in hand but you can’t do that with fresh produce because it’s shelf life barely surpasses a month. This is why I love [brand:birds-eye] broccoli florets in the 52 oz bag.

My only complaint is that due to the ice that makes it way inside the bag makes the florets mushy at times. It’s not unpalatable but I don’t prefer it. I usually purchase this with cauliflower and add butter for an appetizer or side dish.

Highly recommend! [brand:birds-eye].

Love to pick this up when we are making chicken Alfredo from home. Got great texture. I always add a little butter, garlic, salt, and pepper in to create a bold flavor. Super affordable and can at times find this on sale.

This product is super convenient for us. It is a large size that lasts through several servings and the broccoli cooks up to a nice green color. And this package contains florets, not “cuts” so no stems! 😁 I put a serving or two in a microwave dish, add about an inch of water to the dish and cook in the microwave for around 6 minutes.

Easy!.

I’m not sure where to start. Birds Eye frozen vegetables used to be top notch. This past year, I’ve had way over ripe corn, green beans & actually spoiled broccoli florets and like some other reviews have said, the broccoli florets are so stalky, not florets.

The broccoli says Product of Mexico. I don’t know if this is the problem or just very poor quality control. I am so hesitant about purchasing your products in the future. I’ve thrown out at least 2 very over ripe corn and 2 spoiled broccoli florets.

They were so gross looking that I was hesitant about using the other bag that I still had in the freezer. I did microwave that one and it was ok, but almost threw it out because of how disgusting the first one was.

My favorite vegetable is broccoli. I could eat it daily. My daughter (she’s 4) even loves broccoli. The problem is when you cook broccoli a lot of times it gets all mushy. Texture is something that I don’t usually have an issue with but broccoli is supposed to have a snap when you chew it.

With the steam in a bag kind it always has the right amount of crunch in it to be cooked completely but not overcooked. It maintains the fresh flavor as well. I have bought steam in a bag of store brand florets before trying to save a few cents (literally the difference in price isn’t much) and I will say it definitely cooks different and the broccoli in the store brand are much smaller pieces and a lot less full.

I always have at least one bag of this in my freezer and that will never change so yes I would buy this over and over.

These florets are genuinely florets–not stems or cut pieces of broccoli. The steam in bag works well and makes for one less dish to clean up. I often eat an entire bag, adding only salt and butter as a meal.

I also use these in recipes (normally slicing the florets in half or thirds to be bite sized). This is a pleasant and CONSISTENTLY high quality product and I am so glad Birdseye offers it. Thanks Birdseye!.

Actually, these are great for preparing a variety of vegetable side dishes. one can put these into recipes or create a great side dish with a few items added to these ingredients. This item is a great buy! Actually, these are great for preparing a variety of vegetable side dishes.

This is without a doubt the worst product put out under the Great Value brand. I bought at least four cans before tasting it. Bad decision. The vegetables don’t have a nice appearance and they are overcooked by the canning process.

By the time you put them in a casserole or microwave them, all nutrition is gone. The same is true of the green beans. But the canned spinach and potatoes aren’t bad. I hope the beets and carrots are good, too.

I believe this is the best value for the money, variety of vegetables, with little liquid in the can, and tastes good in my homemade soups one star off, each can was dented in this order thrown into a big box with other canned goods (also dented cans) with no packing.

Where is Walmart’s quality control? Why are so many cans dented? I am getting more dented cans probably 80 percent, complaining makes no difference.

I have been buying Bird’s Eye Frozen Corn for many years and always thought it was the best. Within the last year the quality of the product had dropped tremendously. The method they are using now to remove the corn from the cob has definitely changed.

Inedible pieces are found throughout a bag of corn. I am going to go through my freezer and throw out all the Bird’s Eye Frozen Corn and throwing them away. I am switching to another brand. You’ve lost my business!!.

I recently bought this product at Meijer and was thoroughly disappointed. I’ve bought this brand in the past and had good corn but this particular batch was terrible. Eating it was like eating the type of feed corn that is saved for feeding chickens or farm animals.

Very tough, thick-skinned, chewy corn. I will not be buying this product again. This is the 2nd time this has happened. Once is fine, but twice is enough to keep me from buying this product again. I would expect this type of bad corn from an off-brand or even canned corn (yuck).

Birdseye frozen corn is delicious! Every kernal is full and large. Our family usually adds it to fried rice. We have purchased this product for years and have seen the packaging size drop from 16oz to the current 10oz and the price increase.

I would love to continue purchasing it but the price is just too expensive when it’s not on sale.

These are usually great if I eat them within a day or two. the problem is that if I haven’t eaten them all by day three they get slimy. I purchased them many times and tried storing them many different ways including the recommended, “leave them in the cellophane wrapping”.

Unless I’m missing something, these just don’t seem worth purchasing.

These veggies were a great addition to my meal. The only downfall was that I feel like they used a lot of filler veggies (mostly carrots) and little of the “big-ticket” items. In the whole bag, there were 2 and a half pieces of broccoli, 5 mushrooms, 3 snap peas and a BAZILLION carrots.

It’s a good thing I like carrots and mixing them in with rice you don’t notice it as much, but if you are not a carrot fan this is not for you!.

The taste of these is so much better than all other brands that I tried. They cook well as directed, unlike other brands where the carrots are still firm and the peas are done. The quantity is less than other brands similarly packaged.

Having a picky eating phase. Toddler loves carrots again. Would recommend cutting to smaller pieces if firm and still getting teeth

These carrots are easy to cook and come out delicious every time! They are my family’s favorite frozen carrots and the value for the price is excellent!

The flavor and ease of baking these sweet potatoes in olive oil and a little honey is delicious and so good for you! Please bring them back to the Hanes Mall store! I also share some simply baked without salt or honey/sugar to my golden retriever who loves them…they are good for dogs as a special treat.

Somehow these do not taste like sweet potatoes as they have no flavor at all. Roasting should have caramelized and enhanced the flavor so not sure what they actually did to these.

I did the Judy Bird dry brining process to this turkey and, boy, was it phenomenal! The Green Circle bird has such wonderful flavor, good fat, and excellent texture. I dry brined with a salt/rosemary rub for 36 hours – 28 hours in a sealed bag then 8 hours uncovered in the fridge.

Took out of the fridge 2 hours before cooking. I had some reserved duck fat from my last batch of D’Artagnan Moulard duck breasts which I used instead of butter (dairy allergy) under the skin and across the body of the turkey.

I stuffed the cavity with a halved lemon, some fresh sage, rosemary and thyme, a quarted onion, some celery and carrot. I stuck 1/2 an apple in the opening of the bird to help seal in the steam created during cooking.

I added 2 cups of water to the pan along with some more fresh sage, rosemary, thyme, and onion. I basted 3 times during cooking with turkey stock I had warming on the stove. Cooked at 20-22 pounder at 400 for 30 minutes then 325 for an additional hour and 25 minutes when it registered at 165.

Because of the dry brining and the type of bird, it cooked faster than traditional store-bought birds and it was perfection!.

They set a high bar and disappointed. When I lived in New England, I went to a turkey farm and purchased a fresh turkey. I ordered this one thinking it would compare. Nope. First, the giblet bag was frozen.

How could that be in a fresh, never frozen turkey. One way, folks, it was frozen at one time. I cooked it exactly the same way I cooked fresh turkey for years and it came out tasty but on the dry side.

Better than a Butterball but not worth the significant difference in cost.

Turkey for Easter dinner? Yeah, why not. I ordered a 12 lb frozen turkey from D’Artagnan because our local markets were flush with hams and lambs, but no turkey. It was certainly chilly enough here in the Midwest on Easter to roast a turkey.

I followed the instructions given on this website for dry brining, and roasting. The skin was perfectly browned and crispy, and the meat was the opposite of dry. This was a perfect bird.
