Do you, like I, grab small handfuls from a bag of mixed vegetables and mike them for a quick health hit?

100's of meals every week.

    Sometimes. And, sometimes I just eat them raw. Like carrots and broccoli.

    OMG - - I swear it -- I read your question as "Do I grab small handguns"

    Ha!

    But sometimes I nuke an entire bag of frozen vegetables and eat the entire bag as the only thing for the entire meal.

    I don't buy frozen vegetables, I do have a bag of frozen peas though, which I use for an ice pack when the need arises.

    Hey there Welby
    My mother used to use those for ice packs when we were kids, they work great because it conforms to where you need it...
    I am lucky, our local market gets locally grown veggies which are wonderful. Most from Half Moon Bay, which is just a hop and a skip up the road from us...

    Hi designer
    That's excellent all-around!

    Yeah, I was thinking the same thing about how a bag of frozen peas would conform.

    Yeah, I have access to locally grown produce and I'd benefit to purchase more often, both for my health and supporting local growers -- I'm just too unorganized in my approach to eating meals that fresh produce goes bad on me because I don't eat it quickly enough.

    I use the whole bag to make a stir-fry with my secret teriyaki sauce.

    Never.
    I don't own a microwave.

    I pick my veggies whole from the garden and use them immediately - no refridgeration.
    Or I buy them whole but in small quantities from the local farmers' market.

    I prepare everything from scratch.
    About 20% I have raw or par-cooked and cold as salads - with lashings of homemade dressing.
    I use a conventional gas stove or oven, or on fine days a solar cooker.

    Pre-cut veggies would be healthier than many fast foods,
    but they are not optimum.
    The longer a veggie has been cut and exposed to oxygen, the more its vitamins have decayed.

    The fresher, the healthier.

    Not sure exactly what you mean by a "health hit".  You cut up various vegetables and keep them in a bag?  I would think healthier to cut them up as needed because then they would remain whole longer. Also the mix would be important for health - root vegetables, coleworts, leafy greens, ground vegetables.  Which would leave out whole grains and sea vegetables which are important for health as well.
