Just a PSA to double-check nutrition info, even what's on the package
Seriously double-check packaged food. I recently got a package of Green Giant frozen cauliflower rice and I looked at it in the store. It's straight cauliflower. Should be fine. And it is, so far as the macros. But it says it make 4 one-cup servings. I didn't give it too much thought at the time, just threw it in the cart.
Fast forward to tonight. I gave hubby and myself both half-cup servings. Imagine my surprise when half the package was gone. So then I took a serious look at the front of the package. Twelve ounces. Now, math isn't my strong suit, but someone want to explain to me how they propose to get four one-cup servings out of a single package?
I sent them an email. I'm sure I'll get some sort of BS answer about how the food settled or whatever. There is no way to make frozen cauliflower settle that much :-p

Anything frozen holds a lot of water, defrosted fish looks so small.... Frozen water makes profit, so fresh is better :(

icinderella I agree about fresh being better. But veggies are usually about the same volume-wise. And there's seriously no way to get 12 ounces of cauliflower to equal 32 ounces, which is what it would need to be for their serving information to be accurate.

I don't disagree, just not surprised. I've noticed many products started 'shrinking': package, the way they filled and then your product was maybe 'packaging line mulfunction'.... or whatever.

icinderella Yep. They sent back a form mail that they appreciate my feedback and will send it to the appropriate person, blah blah blah. :eyeroll: Pretty sure a Delete key was involved somewhere :-p
