Once peas are shelled, they can be steamed, boiled, stir-fried, mixed into stews or sauces or casseroles. They require very little cooking time.
Peas, like other vegetables, are canned or frozen at the peak of their freshness to preserve them. Canned peas are heated/cooked during processing and so are a darker drab green and a softer texture as opposed to frozen peas which are blanched to a bright green and close to raw. Frozen peas can be added to a dish at the last minutes of cooking/heating to preserve that color and texture.
