Frozen green peas are one of the easiest and healthiest ways to enrich your diet with essential vitamins and minerals. Thanks to the rapid freezing process, they retain their full nutritional value, vibrant green color, and naturally sweet taste, making them a great choice for every season. Unlike fresh peas, which have a short harvesting period, frozen peas are available year-round, allowing you to enjoy their benefits whenever you like.

Choosing frozen peas means saving time in the kitchen. There’s no need for shelling or cleaning—simply take them out of the freezer and cook them in minutes. They are a practical ingredient for a variety of dishes, from light salads and hearty stews to creamy soups and side dishes. Additionally, frozen peas have a long shelf life, staying fresh in the freezer for months without the risk of spoilage, which helps minimize food waste.

Frozen peas retain nearly all the nutritional value of fresh vegetables. Here’s what an average 100g serving contains:

Why Is It Important to Eat Green Peas?

Green peas are a rich source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. They contain B vitamins, vitamin C, and folic acid, which is essential for maintaining a healthy nervous system. Additionally, peas are an excellent source of plant-based protein, making them ideal for vegetarians and those looking to reduce their meat intake. The fiber in peas aids digestion and helps regulate blood sugar levels, making them a great choice for people focused on a healthy diet. Regular consumption of peas can contribute to heart health by helping to lower cholesterol and regulate blood pressure.

At What Age Can Children Eat Peas?

Peas are an excellent food choice for young children as they are packed with essential nutrients for proper growth and development. They can be cooked and mashed to make digestion easier and reduce the risk of choking. Their mild texture and naturally sweet taste often make them a favorite among children. When introducing peas into a baby’s diet, it is generally recommended to wait until the eighth month to avoid potential digestive issues such as gas. However, your pediatrician can provide the best advice on when your baby is ready to start eating peas.

Frozen peas are very simple and quick to prepare, and there are various ways to cook them depending on the dish you’re making. Here are some common preparation methods:

Boiling (Classic Method)

  • Step 1: Bring a pot of water to a boil.
  • Step 2: Add frozen peas directly into the boiling water without prior thawing.
  • Step 3: Cook for 3-5 minutes until tender but still vibrant green.
  • Step 4: Drain and season with olive oil, butter, salt, or spices to taste.

This method is ideal for serving peas as a side dish.

Steaming

  • Step 1: Prepare a steamer or place a sieve over boiling water.
  • Step 2: Add frozen peas and cover with a lid.
  • Step 3: Steam for about 5-7 minutes until soft.

This method preserves more nutrients and gives peas a mild, clean taste.

Frying in a Pan

  • Step 1: Heat a small amount of olive oil or butter in a pan over medium heat.
  • Step 2: Add frozen peas directly to the pan without thawing.
  • Step 3: Sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly caramelized.
  • Step 4: Add salt, pepper, garlic, or other spices to taste.

This method is great for incorporating peas into dishes like risottos, pasta, or salads.

Microwave Cooking

  • Step 1: Place frozen peas in a microwave-safe dish.
  • Step 2: Add a small amount of water (about 2 tablespoons per 200g of peas).
  • Step 3: Cover the dish and microwave on high for 3-4 minutes, depending on the quantity.
  • Step 4: Drain excess water and season as desired.

This is the fastest method, perfect for quick meals or as a side dish.

Adding to Soups and Stews

  • Frozen peas can be added directly to soups or stews without prior thawing. Simply add them towards the end of cooking (5-10 minutes before the dish is ready) to keep them bright and juicy.

Frozen peas are a highly versatile ingredient, perfect for everything from creamy soups to salads and pasta dishes.
