1 . Shell freshly picked, sweet, tender peas. Sort 

 out Immature and tough ones, unsuitable for 

 freezing. 



Vegetables such as peas and sweet corn lose qual- 

 ity very rapidly after picking. They become starchy 

 and lose sweetness if held at summer temperature 

 and should be frozen within a few hours. 



2. Wash peas and pour into wire basket to drain. 



5. Pour peas into freezing package, leaving 1/2 

 inch head space at top. Wipe moisture from inside 

 edges of bag. Press out air.
