Shelling Peas

Peas are a cool-season legume harvested for their sweet, tender seeds. They are available in several forms, including shelling peas (English peas), snap peas, and snow peas. Each type offers a unique texture and flavor, from the sweet burst of shelled peas to the crisp crunch of edible pods.

Peas are among the earliest vegetables harvested in the Northeast and are valued for their short but highly anticipated growing season. They can be enjoyed fresh, frozen, or preserved and are used in a wide variety of dishes.
