VIP's steam packages used for organic vegetables

VIP Foods has introduced a new organic line of frozen vegetables using its patented SteamWorks packaging process, which allows customers to steam cook the food directly in a microwave. The cooking method improves taste and texture, reduces cook-time, and decreases the loss of vitamins and nutrients, VIP Foods said in a statement this week.
