Description

Frozen Japanese peas are small green legumes characterized by their sweet flavor and tender texture, ideal for including in a wide variety of dishes such as soups, salads, stews, and stir-fries. These peas originally come from Asia, and their name "Japanese" refers to a variety commonly cultivated and consumed in Japan and other East Asian countries.

In cooking, Japanese peas are usually offered frozen to preserve their freshness, texture, and color, making them easy to use year-round. They are an excellent source of plant-based protein, fiber, vitamins (especially vitamin C and vitamin K), and minerals such as iron and magnesium, making them a nutritious and healthy ingredient.

In the Hispanic American culinary context, Japanese peas may also be known as Japanese green peas or simply frozen green peas. Although the exact term may vary by region, in all cases they refer to the small frozen green peas that retain their natural flavor and provide a soft texture to dishes.
