How do you store Pea?
Keep fresh peas in their pods in the fridge for a few days; freezing is a good option for longer storage — since they are frozen quickly after harvest, they lose little nutritional value.
What should you look for when buying Pea?
Choose pods that are glossy, plump and crisp; avoid ones that are yellowed or wrinkled.
What goes well with Pea?
Pairing peas with mint is a classic Aegean combination; minted yogurt enriches both the flavor and the variety on the table.
