When is the season when peas are on the market?

Spring brings many fresh pea pods to the market. In March, we can eat peas. Let's see how to choose peas.

First: First, look at the pedicels in pea pods. Fresh pea stalks are light green in color and have no drying discoloration; If it has dried, it proves that most of the water has been lost after picking for many days. Even if the pods are still fresh and tender, the beans in them will taste much worse because of lack of water.

Second: squeeze by hand. Fresh pea pods squeezes a few times with your hands, and there will be a creaking sound. This pea pods is fresh and watery.

Third: according to the date of listing, the production period of peas is generally from February 65438 to March of the following year, so the peas listed in the early stage should be full. This is because the weather in the early stage is cold and the ripening is slow, and the ripe fruit will not be full, so try to choose the full one. In the late stage of listing, the weather is getting warmer and the fruit ripens faster. Choose tender ones, because they will be over-mature in a few days.

If the pod skin is white, the bean kernel will be too old and the taste will not be tender and sweet; The "belly" is flat, the bean kernel will be small and the maturity will be poor; In addition, the concave ribs on the back of the pod also indicate that it is too old to buy.

Buy fresh pea pods home, wash it and cook it directly. Fresh ones taste a little sweet, and the beans are soft and waxy, which is delicious.
