"The box displays a vibrant mix of sugar snap peas, broccoli, carrots, and baby corn, and it comes with a packet of saucy seasoning to drizzle over the veggies as they steam. But what came out of the box wasn't anything like its depiction. The vegetables were nearly all carrots with a few measly pieces of corn, sugar snap peas, and broccoli haphazardly scattered throughout."
"The seasoning packet states that it contains garlic and ginger, but these ingredients were far down the list behind soybean oil, maltodextrin, and sugar. We couldn't taste any aromatics, and without sesame oil or soy sauce, there was no trace of Asian flavors at all. In fact, sugar was the only thing we could taste. Sickly sweet vegetables are not a side dish we recommend."
"Aldi customers were equally unimpressed with the Season's Choice Asian-seasoned vegetable medley. In agreement with our assessment of ingredient imbalances, one Redditor wrote that the veggie medley "always [ends] up being 90% carrots." But even a bag full of steamed carrots should be edible. According to another Redditor, "The vegetables were brownish in color, the baby corn inedible, [and] everything was mushy.""
The Season's Choice steamed Asian-seasoned vegetable medley advertises a colorful mix of sugar snap peas, broccoli, carrots, and baby corn with a saucy seasoning packet. The actual product is dominated by carrots with only scattered pieces of other vegetables. Vegetables often appear brownish and become mushy, and the baby corn can be inedible. The seasoning lists garlic and ginger but those flavors are buried behind soybean oil, maltodextrin, and sugar, producing a predominantly sweet taste with no detectable sesame oil or soy sauce. Customer reports note low sauce quantity and a decline in quality.
