I only like frozen peas...and get them from the store.

No I've never frozen nor canned fresh veggies.
Even my mother who raised 6 children with father on a low income, did not buy bulk fresh veggies to freeze/blanch to keep for wks. or months.

Real good Asian fresh cooking,...does not use frozen veggies. Sorry. Really, recipes that suggest frozen veggies for an Asian recipe, no it's not a great tasting stir fry, that's for certain.

If you blanch them, you are using them the next minute for a stir fry. I'm even lazier, I don't blanch any hard veggies in advance for a stir-fry.

My partner doesn't like frozen veggies either. The only thing he does is make bulk applesauce from scratch, a bag of semi-damaged apples ..in spun into a cinnamon-aniseed-cardamon spiced applesauce. I'm not into applesauce, though I will sneak off with tasting globs. It's for his daily plain yogurt. He loves making fresh salads.

So not much freezing/canning veggies won't be happening in foreseeable future at our end. I just go to Chinatown to buy certain veggies and fruits cheaper.

Instead getting back to basics for me or some parts of the population in North America, 21st century would be:

*cooking rice WITHOUT a rice cooker. (I only started using a rice cooker 1 decade ago.)
*using fresh ginger root
*tofu, as naked as you can see. Without disguising it to look like meat, etc.
*making my own focaccia

and so on.
