pre-cut vegetables
Ready-to-cook ingredients
Pre-cut vegetables are vegetables that have been washed, peeled, and chopped before sale, ready for immediate cooking or eating.
They trade convenience for cost—typically priced higher than whole vegetables.
I grabbed a bag of pre-cut vegetables for the stir-fry.
Common forms include bagged salad mixes, diced onions, and sliced bell peppers.
