I will absolutely not buy frozen crucifers. They always taste weird to me.
I like frozen peas and frozen corn and frozen artichokes.

i dunno how you dont like frozen broccoli. oven roasting it tastes almost indistinguishable from fresh, also all the extra stalk being cut off is a great money saver

It tastes nothing like fresh to me. It, like all crucifers, has a sickening sweetness to it once frozen, a flavour broccoli and cauliflower and brussells sprouts simply shouldn't have.
I suspect I'm alone in this whole finding frozen-crucifers-to-be-disgustingly-sweet thing.
Also, I like broccoli stems.

I don’t like frozen vegetables but I prefer chopped frozen strawberries or peaches in my Greek yogurt .

frozen carrots taste fucking weird to me and I have no idea why. The difference doesn't really bother me for any other frozen vegetable.

Same here. I have frozen berries with yogurt for breakfast in the winter (fresh in the summer). The only frozen veg that's nice is peas. Oh – I freeze celery myself, rather than throw away 3/4 of a pack a few days after every time I make something that requires mirepoix.

If I'm making something where the vegetable is featured prominently, like beef and broccoli, then I use fresh. If it's an ingredient that blends with other things, like stirfry vegetables, I use frozen.

Frozen fruit is usually fine for whatever smoothie or baked good you're putting it in. You just need to be aware that freezing them makes them mushy because their cell walls burst.

Most frozen vegetables are F-tier and for beginner/flyover cooks.
If you're not slicing and roasting vegetables you're doing it completely wrong.
