Green Giant Frozen Veggies Review and Giveaway


With the 40th anniversary of Earth Day right around the corner on April 22nd, you may have begun to think of the little changes that you and your family can make to help protect the Earth this year.

For Green Giant, it’s all about trying to live up to the name by working every day to care for the land, the people who grow our vegetables and the families who share our vegetables at their tables. Throughout its century-long history, Green Giant has worked to reduce its environmental footprint through many measures including:

* Reducing the amount of land and water needed to grow vegetables

* Packing vegetables in smaller, lighter cans, so it takes less fuel to deliver them to supermarket shelves

* Utilizing traditional seed breeding methods over the last 35 years to double the amount of sweet corn grown on an acre of land

* Teaming up with growers to install a more efficient irrigation system that can reduce water use by more than a million gallons a year;

* Switching to more earth-friendly paperboard to package frozen vegetables, saving approximately 54,000 trees annually in the process.

Green Giant is now celebrating the 40th anniversary of Earth Day by giving $200,000 to The Nature Conservancy to help fund an innovative project that will encourage greener farming practices to repair and protect a natural treasure — the Root River, one of Minnesota’s (home to Green Giant) best trout streams.

To learn more about Green Giant’s sustainability program or make a donation to The Nature Conservancy, visit http://www.GreenGiant.com/sustainability during the month of April.

Recently, My Blog Spark and Green Giant gave me a chance to try out their frozen vegatables. As a working mom who tries to her family eating healthy, fresh veggies aren't always the best choice because they always seem to go bad before I can get them used. So, the next best thing are frozen veggies. Green Giant's frozen vegatables are wonderfully yummy! If you didn't see me cooking them, you would've never known they were frozen! I love them! There's no waste and the family eats right!

Click here to save $0.50 (or $1 if your store doubles) on Green Giant's frozen vegetables!

My Blog Spark and Green Giant have been nice enough to offer one of my lucky readers a Seeds of Change prize pack which includes: one VIP coupon valid for a free package of Green Giant frozen vegetables, in addition to a mini herb garden, an eco-friendly bamboo utensil set, and a 100% recyclable grocery tote!
