Probably a silly question, but why do they put sweetcorn in a bag of mixed vegetables?

 

Personally I hate the taste of sweetcorn, but it's a pain when I have to take out all the sweetcorn from the rest of the vegetables. 

 

I like most veg, but I hate sweetcorn. I'd rather it if they added sprouts. 

 

Is there a shop that sells a bag of mixed veg minus the sweetcorn?

Tesco do a mix veg in their freezers. It's not actually Tescos but something like Harvest.

Patsy33, 

You mean Tesco do a bag of mixed veg minus the sweetcorn? 

Lots of sweetcorn in Tesco mixed veg

https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/302282376?sc_cmp=ppc*GHS+-+Grocery+-+New*MPX_PMAX_All_OT_All+Products_Online+Budget_1011017**302282376*&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwiYOxBhC5ARIsAIvdH53nxJPVm9dxcXikWLZZt5onjcDUs9CycP2g2X552dajDCjf1pBfFyIaAkkNEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

Nah - they do a bag of sweetcorn without the mixed veg.....

You will just have to look at the supermarkets websites to check the ingredients of the mixed veg

Sorry I'm getting muddled up with another mixed veg. I'll keep looking for you.. 😀

Here you are, Tesco Farmhouse mixed veg

https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/264889062?sc_cmp=ppc*GHS+-+Grocery+-+New*MPX_PMAX_All_OT_All+Products_Online+Budget_1011017**264889062*&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwiYOxBhC5ARIsAIvdH52x_cLf9tFGOgn_qSsg_LqvwWKHdY8CDDtLzuGFCZifZwkl69zSxpcaAnJWEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

I'm guessing that you're referring to frozen mixed veg.  If so, Birds Eye offer 640g bags of Country Mixed Vegetables, with no sweetcorn included:
https://www.birdseye.co.uk/range/frozen-vegetables/natural-vegetables/country-mix
They're currently on special offer, at two bags for £4, in Morrisons.  (£2.69 each).  Sainsbury's and Tesco have them at £2.70.  Iceland charge £2.60.

 

Asda's Just Essentials Mixed Vegetables cost just 99p for a 1kg bag, again without sweetcorn included:

I love sweetcorn though.  My biggest moan is that some restaurant chains, such as Harvester, serve it still in the cob, making it far too difficult to eat easily!

Why do they put sweetcorn in the mixed vegetables?

You may well as ask "why do they put peas in the mixed vegetables".

straight off the plant, brush with oil, maybe even a Cajun rub, black pepper, and onto the barbie.....a little bit of butter over it before serving and delish!

Question Author

I don't even think sweetcorn is good for you. I was always told to eat my greens as a child, but sweetcorn is yellow and oily. 

it is to keep the peas in line.

oi, give peas a chance

i do love you, very good xx

The reason some people don't like sweetcorn in their mixed veg. is because sweetcorn does not go with gravy.

I eat my peas with honey

I've done it all my life

Some people think it's funny

But it keeps them on the knife

 

Haha great thread. Take the sweetcorn fishing and stop carping.😉
