Canned and frozen variations are available at supermarket stores. In spring and early summer, fresh peas may be available.
Which version to buy?
Experts say fresh, canned, and frozen peas have similar nutritional value. So it depends on your tastes and how you cook with peas.
"When things are frozen, they are at the peak of ripeness," Derocha says, retaining nutrients. The most handy peas are canned, but Pettitpain says they include salt and lose some minerals.
Fresh peas taste finest, but they may take weeks to arrive and may not be available depending on the season.
Derocha prefers frozen peas since they're easy to store and canned peas are mushier.
