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.
