To preserve the quality of fresh peas by freezing them, follow these steps:
- Start by blanching the peas in boiling water for a few minutes.
- Quickly cool the peas in ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Drain the peas and pat them dry to remove excess moisture.
- Place the peas in airtight containers or freezer bags, removing as much air as possible.
- Label the containers with the date and store them in the freezer.
By following these steps, you can maintain the quality of fresh peas when freezing them for later use.

How does freezing preserve peas?
Freezing slows down the metabolic processes in peas, reducing spoilage. By freezing peas, ice crystals form within the vegetable, preventing the growth of bacteria and enzymes that cause food to spoil. This helps to maintain the freshness, color, and flavor of peas for an extended period of time.
Why does freezing help preserve peas?
Mostly the bacteria that would feed on the peas, or whatever organic material you've frozen, can't survive in freezing temperatures.

How can I properly freeze peas to preserve their freshness and flavor for a longer period of time?
To properly freeze peas for long-term freshness and flavor, first blanch the peas in boiling water for a few minutes, then quickly cool them in ice water. Drain the peas and pat them dry before placing them in airtight containers or freezer bags. Label the containers with the date and store them in the freezer. This method helps preserve the peas' quality for several months.
How are frozen peas increased in shelf life?
Freezing peas performs one of two functions: - It prevents bacterial activity - It prevents enzymatic activity (natural degeneration) By reducing the temperature of peas to zero or below zero degrees Celsius, the water molecules in the peas are reduced to zero percent activity; effectivley they become ice. Water molecule activity is essential for the functioning of the naturally-occurring enzymes in the peas, so this is how the enzymatic activity is reduced. Bacterial activity is also another cause of deterioration in the quality of peas, however most bacteria cannot function or multiply in freezing conditions, so any damage they might do is then made impossible. In summary, by freezing peas, or most other foods you are slowing down (though not preventing) the natural process of degeneration. Eventually peas will go stale in the freezer, but freezing them is a great way of ensuring they're at optimum quality for more than a few days on end.

Because English Peas don't have a specific growing season, they can be purchased year round. In order to purchase fresh peas, you should either check with local farms or farmers or go to farmers markets. Because English Peas are only good 2-3 days after picking, most of them are sold to companies for canning or freezing. Call around, and see if the farmers markets or farmers near you have any available; if they don't, ask if they can tell you where you can get them.
