How to Choose
- Choose bright green, plump pods.
- Pods should feel full of peas.
- Avoid yellowing or flat pods.
- Fresh peas squeak when rubbed together.
Storage Tips
- Use as soon as possible - sugars convert to starch.
- Store in pods in fridge for 2-3 days.
- Shell and freeze immediately for best flavour.
- Frozen peas are often fresher than "fresh".
Prep & Use
- Eat raw straight from the pod.
- Make fresh pea soup.
- Mash with mint for a side.
- Add to risotto at the last minute.
