Enjoy the fresh, crispy and sweet Pea, just picked out of his pod. Firmness and its unforgettable taste, have to be rediscovered...
Like every spring, the peas time comes back. A time of hard work that stretches in length...
The pea crop remains tedious. However, its culture, once you have found a good soil, is no problem and that is why we can find it in all regions of France and of England!
Harvesting begins mid-April, ending no later than mid-June. It is actually the heat that allows the grain to grow. Manual harvesting is unfortunately a tradition that is almost lost because fresh consumption is down.
60% of purchased peas in France are canned and 30% are frozen, . But nothing beats the flavor of freshly picked green peas! This is why even though we have not an essential need of freshness, I gladly give you here a recipe called "Cold Garden Peas Soup and its Bruchetta". I know you will love it...
