You can buy fresh vegetables, such as carrots, celery, leek and parsley either in large packs or the single piece is so large that it takes months to eat.
Since we do not want to eat the same vegetables 3 days in a row, there are now several ways to avoid that:
- Mirepoix: You purchase your vegetables as prepacked fresh mirepoix. That does not cost much and includes the most important vegetables.
- Cut and freeze it: If you buy a large pack, like carrots, process all the vegetables and freeze them pre-portioned.
- Frozen vegetables: There are usually in great mixes. However, be careful that you shop unseasoned vegetables. They are better for portioning.
