Peas please Louise,

I often have a packet of Tesco frozen garden peas in my freezer. I think the packaging must have changed since this category was added as it is not such a lush green pack anymore . The product the same just Tesco has updated the pack
These garden peas are available in 1kg pack and in a 1.8kg bag. The 1kg bag costs 1.63 The 1.8kg bag £2.82 (£1.57 per kg) so if you have room the bigger bag works out cheaper.

I find a bag of peas handy to keep in the freezer as I can easily use as many as I need at any time. Peas are often the vegetable that will be eaten by children. (except my grandson ) Peas go well as a vegetable accompaniment to most meals.

These Tesco garden peas are good ones, not hard bullet and tasteless. They are a fairly good bright green maybe not the smallest and sweetest frozen pea, but they are a good everyday pea. They taste quite sweet and pea like. Frozen peas do not actually taste an awful lot like fresh peas really.

Tesco garden peas are easy to eat stab them on your fork if you want to keep them from rolling off your plate onto the floor. As you get older your skill at keeping peas on your fork get better and you do not have to resort to a spoon as your child might.

There is usually a good storage date on these frozen peas so they can be kept opened in the fridge for a long time. The pack /bag is a plastic one easier to open with scissors than trying to tear. If you store this pack in your freezer without using a freezer tie or clip you will get peas everywhere. So do use a freezer peg or a paper covered wire.

To cook these peas is easy just add some to a little water and microwave for a couple of minutes or cook on the hob in a saucepan with water added. For between 3 and 5 minutes Best cooked from frozen. Tesco warn you not to eat these peas raw. I like to add a sprig of fresh mint from my garden to these peas sometimes.

These are quite a good pea to go with the Sunday roast. They are good to add a few to a casserole too I just pour a few of them into the casserole dish while it is cooking.

There are 70kcal per 100g of these peas. You will need about 50g for a serving for most people.

Would I recommend? Yes these are an ok frozen pea
I wonder what Tesco mean by Garden ? it evokes a picture of a small rural garden
