Peas are one of the most popular processed vegetables, either canned or frozen.

Fresh pods of Green peas are harvested from farms. Careful selection and sorting is done and the peas are immediately processed and frozen to give the farm fresh taste to the customers. Peas for freezing are of the sweet type, especially developed for deep- green color.

Frozen peas are not usually sized, although a limited supply of excellent-quality small round or early June type peas are frozen. "Garden ran" or "field ran" means no size separation has been made. "Assorted sizes" means two adjacent sizes. "Mixed sizes" means three or more sizes. "Sifted" means that some sizes have been removed.

Generally frozen vegetables retain more vitamins and seem to taste fresher.Frozen vegetables have advantages over fresh ones, in that they are available when the fresh counterpart is out-of-season, they have a practically infinite shelf life when kept in a freezer, and that they often have been processed a step or more closer to eating.
