This is absolutely delicious. I was going to cook it, but tasted it and could not put it down. Don’t know how it would be cooker, but a terrific snack

I use this along with parsley. It is small and fine great to add color & green to anything one eats. Gives the dish a boost of green vegetables where kids are concerned. I use just like parsley but get the added boost of the vitamins kale has without the fuss from youth picking it out.

Had purchased pre-packaged salads that included freeze-dried corn, and wanted to find out where I could buy them. I had never had this product, and it is a great addition to a salad. It took a bit of research because I didn't think of the term "freeze-dried", but finally found these at Amazon. Bought them and have been using them for several months. Good taste - not perfect but very good. They add flavor and variety to any salad, or you can eat them right out of the bag. Good product.

This review is for Thousand Lakes Freeze Dried Broccoli Florets 2-pack 1.2 ounces (2.4 ounces total). I have tried many brands of freeze-dried veggies over the years, and I can say Thousand Lakes is the BEST I've used. It rehydrates in seconds, meaning I can add it to a recipe or even a bowl of soup at the last minute, and it tastes great. I will buy it again and will try other veggies from this company.

Tasty snack or add on to any soup

What can I say, they are freeze dried peas. Seemed to be of great quality. Easy to rehydrate and use in different recipes. Great addition to my pantry.

Spent many years looking for freeze dried veggies without all the other spiced, ingredients in a meal. Tried this and the corn and they are terrific, very easy to hydrate and eat on the trail, easy to spice up with whatever- salt, pepper, garlic powder, olive oil. If you love broccoli you could even snack on these dry. The corn was tasty too- glad we found them !! Price could be better but this freeze dried stuff is expensive
