Pea is a kind of food that we all like, but because it is a seasonal food, the time we can taste it is very limited. Many times, if you want to eat fresh peas, you can only wait until the peas are ripe next year.

For my family, with the refrigerator, I can eat fresh pea rice at any time; Because we will peel the peas into small seeds when they are ripe and put them in the frozen layer of the refrigerator. When we want to eat, we just need to take out the frozen peas and thaw them.

Personally, I think there are two ways to keep peas from going bad for half a year:

First, freeze the peas in the refrigerator. This method is the same as what I said above. When the peas are ripe, they are shelled, bagged and placed in the frozen layer of the refrigerator. In this case, the storage period of peas can reach not only half a year, but also several years.

But freezing peas for a long time will lose nutrition and produce fresh peas every year. So for frozen peas, I personally suggest not to exceed 1 year; We can freeze fresh peas again when they are ripe the next year.

Second, dry the peas and preserve them. Besides freezing peas, we can also dry peas in the sun to keep them dry enough, which can also preserve peas for a long time.

Of course, there are two points to pay attention to in preserving peas in this way. The first point is that peas should be mature enough, that is to say, they must turn yellow and harden before they can be picked and dried. Otherwise, the pea granules will not be full and the nutrition will be greatly reduced.

The second point is that peas are dried, sealed in bags and stored in a cool, dry and ventilated place; At the same time, insect-repellent drugs should be put in to prevent peas from getting insects.

These are the methods we often use to preserve peas. If we like the taste of green peas, the first method is the most suitable. If we like the taste of yellow peas, we can preserve them in the second way.
