Store in a paper bag or perforated plastic bag in the vegetable crisper drawer.
Use within 2–3 days for best taste and texture.
🥶 3. Refrigerating Shelled Peas (Short-Term, 1–2 Days)
If you’ve already shelled them:
Place them in an airtight container or zip-lock bag lined with a paper towel to absorb moisture.
Store in the coldest part of your fridge.
Use within 1–2 days, as they lose sweetness fast.
🚫 Avoid:
Storing at room temperature for long — peas quickly turn starchy.
Freezing raw peas without blanching — they’ll lose flavor and texture.
📝 Pro Tip:
If you grow peas or get them fresh from a market, freeze them the same day you pick or buy them — that’s when their sugar content is at its highest!
