How to prepare & cook frozen broccoli
01Keep Frozen Until Cooking: Do not thaw prior to heating. Remove only the exact portion needed for your meal and promptly return the remaining broccoli florets to the freezer.
02Steaming: Place frozen florets in a steamer basket over simmering water. Cover and steam for approximately 5–7 minutes, or until the desired tenderness is reached.
03Boiling: Add frozen florets directly to boiling water and cook for approximately 4–6 minutes. Drain promptly after cooking.
04Stir-Frying: Heat a small amount of cooking oil in a wok or skillet over medium-high to high heat. Add the frozen broccoli directly to the pan and stir-fry for approximately 5–8 minutes, tossing regularly, until heated through and tender-crisp. Add other vegetables, sauces, or seasonings as desired.
05Microwave: Place the desired quantity in a microwave-safe dish with approximately 30–60 ml (2–4 tbsp) of water. Cover and microwave on high for approximately 4–7 minutes, adjusting the time according to the quantity and microwave output.
06Drain & Season: Drain any excess liquid immediately after cooking. Season with olive oil, butter, salt, lemon juice, herbs, or other preferred seasonings.

Storage
Keep frozen broccoli properly stored to help maintain its quality, texture, and color.
01Keep Frozen: Store at −18°C (0°F) or below until ready to cook. Maintaining a consistent freezer temperature helps preserve product quality.
02Reseal After Opening: Reseal the original packaging securely after each use, or transfer the remaining broccoli to an airtight, freezer-safe container or freezer bag. This helps limit exposure to air and moisture, which can contribute to freezer burn and ice buildup.
03Cold-Chain Handling: Frozen orders are packed using insulated packaging and transported under cold-chain handling procedures throughout Metro Manila. Pickup is also available from our Makati location.
Shelf Life
Simple guidelines to help maintain product quality during storage.
01Best-Before Guidance: When stored continuously at −18°C (0°F) or below, frozen broccoli can maintain its best quality until the best-before date indicated on the packaging.
02Refreezing Guidance: Avoid refreezing fully thawed broccoli whenever possible. Repeated freezing and thawing may affect the vegetable's texture, appearance, and overall quality.
03After Thawing: If the broccoli has thawed, keep it refrigerated and use within 1–2 days for best quality. Do not leave thawed broccoli at room temperature for extended periods.
