Freezing peas is easy, and a great way to keep them on hand for adding to your favorite recipes all year round.

Below I’ll show you exactly how to freeze fresh peas with or without blanching, with detailed step by step instructions.

Before freezing fresh peas, it’s important to wash them to remove any dirt or debris. Whether you should remove them from the pod or leave them whole depends on the variety you have.
You can freeze snow or sugar snap varieties whole without shelling them. However, you should always remove English peas from their pods first.
To shell them, simply pop open the pod with your fingers. Then run a finger down the inside of the pod to remove them, as you guide them into a bowl.
You don’t have to blanch peas before freezing them, but it is ideal. Blanching locks in the flavor, helps to retain the color and texture, and can help to extend their shelf life by a few months.
Blanching peas is simple. All you need to do is flash-cook them in boiling water for 1 to 1 ½ minutes.
Then move them to an ice cold water bath immediately afterwards to stop the cooking process, and allow them to cool completely.

The Flying Frying Carousel
If you ask people what plant they would take into space (which I do, quite a bit), a significant number of them answer potatoes, because they can’t imagine a life without French fries (chips, if you’re British). The only problem with that is that, so far, no one has worked out how to make fries in space. The International Space Station doesn’t have a deep fat fryer, and you can imagine the health & safety nightmare that would be in microgravity. In The Martian, Mark Watney has to make do with a microwave, and rues the day he runs out of ketchup.
