"Grocery shopping for the week is always a little bit easier when you can grab all of your essential items in one place, which is just one of the many reasons that shoppers love Aldi. When they're not getting sucked into the "Aisle of Shame" or caught up on an extensive beer and wine selection (in certain states), customers can peruse the aisles for frozen foods, pastries, cold cuts, fresh produce, and more for a pretty decent bargain."
"Our biggest issue with this frozen veggie was false advertising, wherein the bag promises broccoli florets, but we found that more fibrous stems were floating around the bag than fluffy broccoli heads. Stems in general are tougher to chew and nowhere near as good as the broccoli heads, so opening the bag to an overwhelming lack of florets is a major letdown. Not to mention, the florets that were in the bag were flavorless and sad, making us question the worthiness of the, admittedly, already-low $1.29 investment. This bag was almost as disappointing as Aldi's Season's Choice steamed Asian-seasoned veggie medley, which is also a victim of false advertising."
Season's Choice Steamable Frozen Broccoli Florets contain a high proportion of fibrous stems rather than broccoli heads. The stems are tougher to chew and provide an inferior texture compared with florets. The florets that are present often lack flavor and appear unappealing. The product label implies a bag of florets but delivers fewer heads and more stem, creating a mismatch between expectation and contents. The product retails around $1.29, which does not compensate for the disappointing quality. Online shoppers report similar complaints and comparisons to other Season's Choice items with labeling issues.
