Raw green peas

Picture showing raw peas still in their pods

Raw green peas? Raw green peas! You read correctly. Raw peas are actually crunchy, sweet and delicious. Sprinkling them over will immediately turn any green salad into something more hearty and interesting. Most people just buy a bag of frozen peas, boil it and turn it into a bland side dish feared by legions of children.

Obviously defrosting frozen peas and eating them raw is not very tasty.
But next time you are at the market try getting some raw, unfrozen peas which are still in their pods. Just try eating some and you will soon see how delicious they are.

If you don't want to boil them you could also just stirfry them with a little bit of butter. Just fry them a whee bit so they do not lose their crunch and them off into the potatoesalad they go.
Yummy!
