If you are looking for the best pea recipe or for tons of information on how to choose the right Vegetable Rack, you have come to the right place!  A pea is a fabulous vegetable to cook with.  I especially love cold pea salad!  In addition to tasting delicious, peas are packed with vitamins (vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin B1, iron, folate and phosphorus), high in protein and fiber while having almost no fat.  So what are you waiting for, start browsing our recipes for peas!

Pea Hints:

1. If you steam peas, instead of boiling peas, you lock in more vitamin C.
2. If you want to boil frozen pea, put the peas in a small pot and cover the peas with water.  Bring the pot to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer for a few minutes.
3. To microwave frozen peas, add 1 TB of water for ever 8 ounces of peas in a microwave-safe container.  The pea should take 4 – 5 minutes to cook in the microwave.
4.  For a cold pea salad, you don’t even have to cook the peas.  Just defrost a bag of frozen pea.

After discovering how useful a Vegetable Rack is, it was truly life changing.  I am known among my friends as the Vegetable Rack giver, because if you are my friend and I have not given you a Vegetable Rack as a present yet, you better believe that I will be at your door with one soon.  Before getting a Vegetable Rack, I used to store my fruits and veggies in the fridge or sometimes on my counter.  But now it is like I have an entirely new kitchen with extra counter space and my fruits and vegetables ripen more naturally as well with my Vegetable Rack.  Plus, by no longer storing my produce in the fridge, it is actually lasting longer.  Fruits and veggies go bad faster in the fridge because of the moisture and condensation that builds up.  One little tip, if you do store your produce in the fridge, always keep it in the fruit and vegetables bins and make sure to take them out of the plastic bags that you get at the grocery store.
