Description

Nutritional & Health Benefits: Peas are rich in plant-based protein, fiber, and complex carbohydrates, as well as vitamins A, B, C, and K, iron, magnesium, potassium, and folate. They support muscle and bone health, improve digestion, help regulate blood sugar, and contribute to overall immune health.

Culinary Uses: Peas can be eaten raw, lightly cooked, or incorporated into a wide range of dishes. They are commonly used in soups, stews, risottos, stir-fries, pasta, and salads, or simply served steamed or sautéed as a side dish. Their sweet and delicate flavor pairs well with many ingredients, from meats to grains and herbs.

Storage: Fresh peas should be kept in the refrigerator and consumed within a few days. Shelled peas can be frozen for longer storage. Podded varieties like snow peas are best stored in a breathable plastic bag to maintain their crispness.
