How people cook with it
Frozen peas are incredibly versatile and can be used in a wide variety of savory and sometimes even sweet applications. They add color, texture, and a mild sweetness to many recipes.
- As a simple side dish
- Mixed into rice pilafs
- Added to pasta sauces
- In hearty stews
To prepare Kroger Frozen Green Peas, you can simply heat them on the stovetop or in the microwave. For stovetop cooking, place the desired amount in a saucepan with a small amount of water and heat until tender, typically a few minutes. In the microwave, place peas in a microwave-safe bowl with a tablespoon of water and cook on high for a few minutes, stirring halfway through. They can also be added directly to soups, stews, or casseroles during the last few minutes of cooking, allowing them to heat through and absorb the flavors of the dish.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to fresh peas, frozen peas offer extended shelf life and require no shelling or preparation. While fresh peas might have a slightly crisper texture when cooked immediately after shelling, frozen peas maintain a consistent quality and are readily available for immediate use, making them a practical choice for busy kitchens.

How to keep the rest
After opening, reseal the bag tightly and store it in the freezer. Ensure it is kept at a consistent freezing temperature to maintain quality. Properly stored, the peas will remain fresh for an extended period, ready for your next meal.
