Organic Green Peas (Matar)

Organic green peas are sweet by nature and packed with nutrients. They provide a significant amount of plant protein and dietary fibre in each serving; thus, they can be considered one of the most nutritionally complete vegetables for everyday Indian meals. Besides being a source of vitamin C, vitamin K, folate, and iron that are essential for immune function, bone health, and blood formation, they also contain fibre that promotes digestive health and feeds good gut bacteria, leading to a healthier gut microbiome over time. Folate is a vital nutrient, especially for expecting mothers and children, since it is involved in cell division and the development of the foetus. Prakritii Organics' green peas, apart from being delicious, also come with an extra benefit of no synthetic pesticide use and thus no hidden chemical residues, unlike in conventionally farmed produce.

If you buy green peas with pods, shell them just before use and store the pods in the refrigerator.
If you have shelled the peas, keep them in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume them within 2-3 days.
In case you want to store the peas for a longer duration, blanch the peas for 2 minutes in boiling water, then immerse them in ice water, drain and put them in sealed bags for freezing. They can be kept frozen for up to 3 months.
Avoid leaving shelled peas at room temperature for long if you don't want them to lose sweetness and freshness quickly.
