Frozen peas is my all-time favorite ingredient. I always have some frozen peas in my freezer. It is very convenient for me to cook peas pulao or any peas recipes with frozen peas instead of soaking the dried peas and use it to cook. The taste of frozen peas is much tastier than the dried peas. Today i am going to share how to store and preserve green peas.

Usually fresh green peas is easily available in markets in the November, December and January months. Because that is the season of green peas. The price of the fresh peas is low in this season only. And the rate doubles or even triples in the remaining months. So i buy the fresh peas in kgs and store it in the refrigerator and i use it for the whole year. You can simply store it in refrigerator. But it will not lasts for more than a week or 10 days. Use this method to store it and it will lasts upto a year.

I like the taste of frozen peas and i add it in most of my kurmas, gravies, pulao recipes. I even add it my baby girl's dal rice and it tastes little sweet and it is healthy too.
