Peas

Sweet and crunchy, peas are a spring treat! Chop up on salads, in stir fryes, in risottos, or enjoy solo as an afternoon snack! You can snap off the stem end to peel the string off if you desire.

Storage

Store in the fridge for a few days for optimal freshness. Can also freeze, unwashed if you want to eat them later!

Our Recipes

Spicy snap peas w/ almonds and peanut sauce: Mark Snyder makes an awesome peanut sauce involving some combination of coconut milk, hoisen sauce, Siracha, soy sauce, Vinegar and lots of peanut butter. You can make a big jar and keep it in your fridge for all kinds of stir fry’s. I added a little bit of this sauce with extra chili paste and stir fried snap peas in sesame oil and almonds for added crunch. Squeeze a little bit of lemon juice to get some acid. Eat on rice or as a side dish.
