Question from Eva

What do you know about the new frozen vegetables that come in a bag that you can microwave to steam? Is this safe?

Debra’s Answer

Heat releases plasticizers, so I wouldn’t cook any food in any type of plastic bag exposed to heat.

The best way to eat vegetables is raw, or steamed using a bamboo or metal steamer basket, or stir-fried, or in soup (where you eat the cooking water). But raw is best.
