About Peas, edible-podded, frozen, unprepared

The garden pea (Pisum sativum) is the sweet, round green seed of a climbing pod plant and ranks among the oldest crops humans have grown. Garden or English peas are shelled from tough pods, while sugar snap and snow peas have tender pods eaten whole. Their bright, delicate sweetness fades fast after picking, which is exactly why frozen peas, locked in at their peak, so often taste better than tired fresh ones.

For a vegetable they are notably nourishing, offering plant protein, fiber, vitamin C, vitamin K, and folate for only about 80 calories per 100 grams. Cooks steam them with a knob of butter, fold them into risotto, pasta, soups, and fried rice, or blitz them into a fresh spring dip. Their natural sugar lifts almost any dish it lands in. If you are buying fresh, pick plump, squeaky-bright pods, refrigerate them and use them quickly before the sugars turn starchy, and keep a bag of frozen peas on hand for a fast side any night.
