Freezing and defrosting peas

Freeze peas after peeling and washing. Make sure to drain well so that it doesn’t contain any water. Put in a plastic bag, remove excess air, close well and place in the freezer.

To defrost, just get the bag out of the freezer and leave it until ice melts. If you’re going to boil or cook them you don’t have to defrost.
