₱ 320
Picked at peak ripeness for optimal flavor and texture, these premium frozen green peas are quickly frozen soon after harvest to preserve their quality. This fast‑freeze process helps maintain their bright green color, tender bite, and naturally occurring nutrients, delivering consistent results that outperform most shelf‑stable options. Mildly sweet and pleasantly firm, they offer a flexible plant‑based protein addition suited to both everyday meals and more refined dishes.
Convenient and nutrient‑dense, green peas provide plant protein, dietary fiber, and naturally occurring antioxidants. Fast post‑harvest processing helps preserve key nutrients such as vitamin C, vitamin K, and manganese, which contribute to immune function, bone health, and normal metabolism. Straight from the freezer with no prep required, these peas make it easy to add color, texture, and nourishment to any recipe.
Whether stirred into creamy risottos, simmered briefly in hearty stews, or served simply sautéed as a side, they provide dependable flavor and texture every time.
Chef’s Tips:
- The Quick Blanch: Steam or boil peas for up to 3 minutes to maintain their bright color, natural sweetness, and tender‑firm bite. Extended cooking can mute flavor and lead to softness.
- Simple Flavor Lift: Finish warm peas with a small amount of butter, fresh mint, or a touch of lemon zest to add freshness and turn a basic side into something more refined.
- Texture Trick: Stir frozen peas into soups and stews near the end of cooking so they heat through without losing their shape or firmness.
