Peas are readily available frozen, or dried. Frozen were made into a Pea Porridge to be used for cereal for breakfast.The peas were cooked for 20 minutes in a steamer, blended into a slurry and placed in containers for freezing or put in the refrigerator for current use. Nothing added.

The good: This food is very low in Saturated Fat, Cholesterol and Sodium. It is also a good source of Protein, Vitamin A, Riboflavin, Niacin, Vitamin B6, Folate, Magnesium, Phosphorus and Copper, and a very good source of Dietary Fiber, Vitamin C, Vitamin K, Thiamin and Manganese.

Why? Frozen peas cook in no time, much less than 20 minutes! Why serve them in the most unappetizing way, why not enjoy the real thing instead of baby food?

That is the beauty of frozen peas; less than a minute in the microwave for a 1 or 2 person portion. I like adding them to rice and similar foods, Don't the British have a mashed pea dish that's quite popular?

Mushy peas are tinned peas. Not sure that popular really applies, more just familiar I think!

I often make a meal from the peas with maybe a bowl of beans. A bowl has a lot of nutrients. Sometimes I mash them and other use just steamed.

I do not think I would like them all mushed up at all.

Take care,

Imagine what your teeth do to the peas. The hand blender just helps them along.

Got introduced to these mushy pea balls in Weymouth, Dorset ... not as meal as pictured, but in a deep fried ball from a chippie ... that you can eat as you walk along with cod and chips. Not the sort of thing I'd do often I might add.

Very attractive. I consider peas a welcome addition to any plate. They are seldom served in restaurants in Canada in my experience. I eat a small bowlful every day, either at breakfast or later in the day.
