Fresh Green Peas Sow Right Seeds

Green shelling peas are sold either shelled or unshelled. Shelled peas are more expensive than unshelled, but they save you the time of shelling them yourself. To shell a pea gently squeeze the blossom end with your thumb and first finger on the seams. It should pop open at the seam. Then run your finger or thumb down the inside of the pod to release the peas as the seam unzips. Discard the pod. Do not confuse green peas for shelling with snap peas or snow peas, which have edible pods. Here are some ways to prepare green peas. Snap and snow peas can be prepared in all the same ways. Before eating these peas, snap off stems and remove the stringy spines on both sides of the pod, and enjoy the whole pod. Green peas are extremely versatile in the kitchen. They can be added cooked or raw to any casserole, stir-fry, saut鬠rice or noodle dish, soup, or salad. Cooking times vary greatly depending on when the green peas were harvested. Young, small ones require less cooking than older, starchy ones.
