Peas
Peas are small green legumes used fresh or cooked in soups, stews, salads, and side dishes.
About Peas
Peas are the immature, tender seeds of pea plants, usually sold fresh in their pods or shelled, and also available frozen, canned, or dried. Shelled peas are used in soups, stews, salads, pasta, rice dishes, and vegetable sides.
Fresh and frozen peas are generally round and green, with a soft skin, sweet vegetal flavour, and tender texture. Dried peas differ substantially in colour, flavour, and cooking behaviour, while pods may be discarded or used separately depending on the product.
Peas can be briefly boiled, steamed, sautéed, or simmered. Cooking changes their firmness and brightness; fresh, frozen, canned, and dried forms therefore differ in appearance and preparation, as do shelled peas and peas sold with pods.

Peas nutrition & diet

Reference values for the specific food form shown. Other varieties, brands and preparations can differ.
Portions & preparation
Identify whether peas are fresh, frozen, canned, dried, split, pureed, or cooked, and use the matching edible portion. Added salt, sauces, oils, dairy, meat, or cooking liquid can change the prepared food. Do not substitute pea shoots, pea protein, or split-pea dishes for whole green peas.
Compare the right form: Match whole green peas in the specified fresh, frozen, canned, or cooked state; distinguish them from dried peas, split peas, shoots, and protein ingredients.
Diet considerations
Peas are plant-derived legumes. Plain peas differ from preparations with butter, cream, cheese, meat, stock, batter, or cereal-based coatings. Dried or split peas cooked into thick dishes have a different portion context from green peas, while added starches and sweeteners can alter the carbohydrate pattern.
