Many people cook frozen peas incorrectly

 When Adding Peas to Stir-Fries, Stews, or Rice
Peas are already partially cooked during processing, so they don’t need long. Add them in the final 3–5 minutes of cooking. This keeps them intact, sweet, and never soggy.

 Uncover While Cooking
Simmering covered for too long traps steam and causes peas to turn soft and sad. Instead:

Sauté over medium heat
Use olive oil or butter
Stir gently and cook uncovered to amplify their flavor and preserve texture
 Bonus Tips for Pea Perfection
 Add a pinch of sugar to enhance natural sweetness (especially tasty in cold salads!)
 Pair with mint or basil for fresh, elevated flavor
 Avoid reheating more than once—peas lose their charm when overcooked
 Use minimal water when boiling—just enough to cover
 Skip acidic ingredients like lemon juice during cooking. If you want a citrusy finish, add them afterward
 Final Thought
Frozen peas deserve better than being tossed in a pot and forgotten. Handle them with care—just a few tweaks, and you’ll unlock their sweet flavor, vivid color, and tender bite every time.
