Harris Teeter Steamable Petite Peas
What it is
These are small, tender green peas that have been flash-frozen to preserve their freshness. They come in a convenient microwave-safe bag, allowing for quick and easy preparation. The peas are whole and have a naturally sweet flavor. This product is a good source of plant-based nutrition.
How people cook with it
Peas are a versatile vegetable that can be added to a wide variety of dishes. They are a popular choice for weeknight meals due to their speed of preparation.
- As a simple side dish
- Mixed into rice pilafs
- Added to pasta salads
- Stirred into soups
To prepare, simply place the unopened bag in the microwave. Cook on high power for the time indicated on the packaging, usually a few minutes. The steam generated inside the bag cooks the peas perfectly. Once cooked, carefully remove the bag from the microwave, cut it open, and serve the hot peas immediately. They are ready to be enjoyed as a standalone vegetable or incorporated into your favorite recipes.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to fresh peas, these steamable peas offer the convenience of longer shelf life and pre-portioned servings. The steam-in-bag method ensures they retain their vibrant color and tender texture, similar to freshly shelled peas, without the need for blanching or boiling.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a quick and easy way to add a vegetable to their meals will appreciate this product.
How to keep the rest
After cooking, any leftover peas should be transferred to an airtight container and refrigerated. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two days. Do not refreeze the peas once they have been thawed or cooked.
