Tips

• Refrigerate in plastic bag; do not shell peas until ready to use.
• To freeze: (1) Shell and wash peas; (2) Blanch (plunge into boiling water) for 1 1/2 minutes and chill quickly in ice cold water; (3) Drain off excess moisture, package in airtight containers or freezer bags and freeze immediately.
• Freezer time shown is for best quality only — foods kept constantly frozen at 0° F will keep safe indefinitely.
