FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
How long do frozen peas last in the freezer?
Frozen peas maintain best quality for 8 to 12 months if kept at a constant freezing temperature.
Are frozen peas as nutritious as fresh peas?
Yes, they are often more nutritious because they are flash-frozen immediately after harvest, locking in vitamins.
Do I need to wash frozen peas before cooking?
No, frozen peas are typically blanched and cleaned before the freezing process.
What is the best substitute for frozen peas?
Fresh shelled peas, frozen edamame, or canned peas (though canned have a softer texture) are good alternatives.
How can I tell if frozen peas have gone bad?
Look for heavy frost/ice crystals (freezer burn), a dull greyish color, or a shriveled appearance.
Can I eat frozen peas raw?
While safe to eat thawed, they are blanched before freezing, so they are technically par-cooked.
Why do my peas turn mushy?
Mushiness is usually caused by overcooking. They only need a few minutes of heat.
Are frozen peas high in sodium?
Plain frozen peas are very low in sodium. Always check the label for added salt or sauces.
How do I prevent frozen peas from clumping?
Store them in a moisture-proof bag and avoid letting the bag sit at room temperature before returning to the freezer.
