How people cook with it
Peas are a common addition to many dishes, offering a touch of sweetness and color. They can be served as a simple side or incorporated into more complex recipes.
- Side dish
- Added to casseroles
- Mixed into rice dishes
- Used in soups
To prepare, drain the liquid from the can. You can then heat the peas gently on the stovetop in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they are warmed through. Alternatively, you can microwave them in a microwave-safe dish for a minute or two. For a richer flavor, some people like to add a small amount of butter or a pinch of pepper after heating. They are also excellent stirred into other dishes during the last few minutes of cooking.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike regular canned peas, these are made without any added salt. This means you have complete control over the seasoning of your dish. They also tend to have a slightly fresher, less processed flavor compared to some other canned vegetables.

How to keep the rest
After opening the can, transfer any unused peas to a separate airtight container. Store this container in the refrigerator and consume the peas within a few days for best quality. Do not store unused portions in the opened can.
