This document provides guidelines for thawing frozen vegetables in a way that preserves their texture and nutrients. It recommends thawing vegetables through direct cooking methods like boiling or stir-frying from frozen, rather than conventional thawing. Partially thawing leafy or bulky vegetables like broccoli or spinach by running them under cold water before cooking is also suggested. Minimal water should be used when cooking frozen vegetables to retain color, flavor and nutrition.
