Trader Joe’s Petite Peas come from the most recent summer crop. And when we say Petite, we do mean dainty. Only the smallest and youngest peas in each pod meet our stringent quality standards. But not only are they truly small, but these Peas are also grown where a unique combination of climate and soil produces peas with firm texture, and naturally sweet flavor. (By the way, Peas are the only ingredient in the package. There’s nothing else added.)

Once harvested, these recent Peas are flash-frozen to preserve their superior quality—and so that we can get them from the field to our stores, and eventually to your table. Store the bag in your freezer and when you’re ready, simply boil the Petite Peas in water on the stovetop for 4 to 6 minutes. Once they reach your desired doneness, just drain and serve! Microwaving is an option, too, if you stovetop is otherwise occupied. Yes, peas!
