frozen pees

Cook frozen peas by microwave or stovetop. Microwave: for 4 cups add 1/2 cup water, cover, microwave on HIGH 5 minutes, stir, then 3–4 minutes more; for 2 cups add 1/4 cup water, microwave 2 minutes, stir, then 2–3 minutes more. Stovetop: add water, bring to a full boil, then cook 4 cups for 5–6 minutes or 2 cups for 3–4 minutes; drain and season.

The peas are sold shelled and are pre-packaged after blanching; the label notes they should be fully cooked before serving.

They are labeled Non-GMO and made with no artificial flavors, colors or preservatives, and the product notes peas are an excellent source of vitamin C.

They’re used as a simple side vegetable, stirred into stews, soups, or salads, or served plain with herbs and spices to add color and texture.

The guidance states the product must be fully cooked and recommends heating to 165°F (until hot throughout) for food safety.

Country-of-origin listings include the United Kingdom, France, Belgium, and the United States.

The directions advise refrigerating leftovers or discarding them immediately after cooking.

The cooking directions reference 4 cups and 2 cups for microwave and stovetop timing guidance.
