Shelled fresh peas are the sweet and tender seeds extracted from the pods, with a bright green color and soft texture. Harvested in spring, they are prized for their freshness and versatility in the kitchen. Rich in fiber, plant-based proteins, vitamins A, C, and K, as well as minerals like iron and potassium, they are light and easy to digest. They can be eaten raw in salads or quickly cooked to preserve their flavor and texture. Perfect for soups, risottos, side dishes, and purees, they pair well with aromatic herbs, dairy, and savory ingredients like bacon or ham.
