Steam-its Frozen Green Peas
What it is
Steam-its are small, tender green peas that have been flash-frozen to preserve their freshness and flavor. They are packaged in a way that allows for convenient steaming directly in the bag. This method helps retain the natural sweetness and vibrant color of the peas. They are a good source of plant-based goodness. The peas are whole and have a pleasing texture when cooked.
How people cook with it
These frozen green peas are a versatile addition to many meals. They can be quickly prepared for a side dish or incorporated into more complex recipes.
- Quick side dish
- Add to casseroles
- Mix into pasta
- Top salads
To prepare, simply place the unopened bag of Steam-its green peas into the microwave. Follow the instructions on the packaging for the recommended cooking time, usually just a few minutes. The steam generated inside the bag cooks the peas perfectly. Once cooked, carefully open the bag away from your face to avoid steam. The peas are now ready to be served as a simple and healthy side or added to your favorite dishes. This method ensures minimal cleanup.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike standard frozen peas that require draining after boiling, Steam-its are designed for microwave steaming. This process often results in a fresher taste and a firmer texture compared to peas that have been boiled for an extended period, which can sometimes become mushy.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a fast and easy way to include vegetables in their meals will appreciate this product.
How to keep the rest
After preparing, store any leftover cooked peas in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They should be consumed within a few days for the best quality. Uncooked, frozen peas should remain in their original packaging and be stored in the freezer.
