They are a great source of vitamins and minerals including Vitamin C, folate, potassium, manganese, Vitamin A and many more! They have a mild flavour, making them great to combine with other veggies and are easy to cook!

Hi I just made this recipe. This isn’t the first time I’ve seen it and thought it would be a nice variation to peas. I ended up using canned peas that I purchased prior to learning that canned veggies are a no no. The can was organic, preservative free, Non BPA and GMO. They were packed with sodium. I rinsed the peas in hopes this helped some. What is the shelf life on this recipe, freezer and fridge please?
