Fine with very light cooking
If you cook this for the recommended time it turns to mush. I take it out as soon as it starts to boil.

Very nice
I love broccoli so these were very nice and practically a staple. I boil it for about 4 minutes rather than the recommended timings.

Pretty good for frozen
I have been buying this for some time as a stand by and have had no problems at all with the cooking. Goes in the steamer and I test after about 5 mins and it is absolutely fine. Have no problems as described by some customers and we are fussy about our veg!!!!

Look great, but awful when cooked
Tried these as a substitute for fresh - never again. Ended up throwing most of it away - hard on the outside and mushy on the inside, and I cooked exactly according to the instructions!

One third rotten
Florets looked fine on the outside when frozen, but were clearly in the process of rotting prior to being frozen. Over a third of the florets were brown, smelly mush on the inside. Threw the rest away and will not be buying again.
