Usage Note

Congelé is the past participle of congeler used as an adjective. Les produits congelés (frozen products/foods) is the standard supermarket label. A subtle distinction: surgelé refers to food that has been flash-frozen commercially, while congelé can cover home-freezing too.

Examples

"Je n'ai que des légumes congelés ce soir."

Natural Translation

I only have frozen vegetables tonight.
