What it is

Petite green peas are a variety of garden peas (Pisum sativum) that are harvested when young and small. They are typically sold frozen or canned, often after blanching to preserve their color and nutrients. Peas are a legume, grown as a vegetable crop.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use petite green peas as a whole food ingredient, adding a mild, sweet flavor and tender texture to dishes. They are commonly found in frozen vegetable mixes, side dishes, soups, stews, and casseroles.

Health notes

Petite green peas are a source of dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers them Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) when used as food. International bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated peas and their components.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. Peas are legumes, and while some individuals may have sensitivities, they are not among the nine major allergens identified by the FDA.
