About Garden peas

Garden peas are the immature seeds of the garden pea plant, removed from their inedible pod. The round seeds are usually green, with a tender, slightly starchy texture and a mild, sweet flavour. This entry refers to shelled peas, not edible-podded types such as snow peas or snap peas.

They are eaten cooked or, when very fresh, sometimes raw, and are sold fresh, frozen, canned or dried. These forms vary in texture and flavour: frozen peas are commonly sold blanched, while canned peas are cooked and may include liquid or added salt; dried peas require rehydration and cooking.
