Frozen sweet peas

Frozen sweet peas are small green legumes that are harvested at their peak ripeness and then frozen, thus preserving their freshness, flavor, and nutritional value. They are known for their slightly sweet taste and soft texture, making them a very versatile ingredient in the kitchen.

Origin: Peas are native to the Mediterranean region and are widely cultivated in many parts of the world, including Europe, North America, and Latin American countries. Freezing allows these peas to be preserved for longer and to be available year-round, making them easy to use in a wide variety of recipes.

Properties: Frozen sweet peas are an excellent source of fiber, vitamins (especially vitamin C and B vitamins), and minerals such as iron and magnesium. They are low in fat and contain plant-based proteins, making them a nutritious option to complement main dishes, soups, salads, and side dishes.

Synonyms in Spanish according to different regions of Latin America: arvejas congeladas, chícharos dulces congelados, gandules congelados (in some countries), arvejas verdes, or simply guisantes congelados. It is important to note that the term "gandules" can vary in its reference depending on the region, but in some places it is also used to refer to peas.
