Advantages: Tasty! :)

Disadvantages: Colouring included :(

I am learning to cook more for myself as I get older but there are only a few vegetables I will eat and out of them peas are my favourites :)

One of the brands we buy is 'Farrow's Giant Marrowfat Processed Peas' which are made by HL Foods in England.

The tin I am reviewing is a 300g size with a drained weight of 180g.

We bought these 3 for one pound at Morrisons but I think they are about 44p normally.

The best before date is not until April 2011 so they last ages and the tin is recyclable with a paper label showing the big green peas that should be inside.

These are advertised as low in fat and low in sugar and the calories are 71 per 80g serving, with sugars of 1.1g and fats of 0.6g.

Farrows have added mint to flavour the water but it isn't strong otherwise I wouldn't like it; they also add sugar and salt and colours.

They can be either heated on the cooker or microwaved and the instructions are on the back.

The peas themselves are a nice green colour and they are quite big as you would expect. I found them to be quite firm which surprised me given that they re processed pea, but lovely with it and a nice accompaniment to a meal.

Farrows peas are full of texture and very chewy rather than just melt in the mouth, the flavour is really satisfying too. Each one is a bit smaller than a 5p and pretty round in shape.

Full of flavour and tasty, you can tell they are fresh and natural although it's not nice to think they have added colour to get the garden green shade...

Four stars from me try them and see how nice they are! ;-p

Summary: These are nice :)
