Peas

Sugar snap and Snow Peas.

There are several varieties of peas and each one means something very different.  We grow sugar snap peas (these are my favorites) and the ever- popular snow pea. Peas are best eaten fresh and the entire fruit is consumed shell and all.  They must be picked often and are superb when eaten right from the vine.

Storage and Preparation:
Peas should be stored in the refrigerator in some type of sealed container.  Peas will loose moisture quickly.  They should store for up to 5 days. 
Peas are one of the many crops that I recommend you eat like candy.  Try eating them plain.  While they are great cooked there is nothing like a fresh raw pea.

Recipe Ideas:
·      Chopped raw on a salad.
·      Lightly steamed in a stir-fry.
