Frequently Asked Questions
What is the shelf life of these whole green peas?
When stored in a cool, dry place in the original packaging, these whole green peas maintain optimal quality for 2-3 years. Once opened, transfer to an airtight container and use within 12 months for best flavor and texture.
How should I prepare these green peas for cocktail applications?
For cocktail use, soak the peas for 8-12 hours, then simmer for 45-60 minutes until tender. They can be pureed for cocktail bases, roasted for garnishes, or used whole in botanical infusions. Strain well when using in drinks to avoid sediment.
Can these green peas be used without soaking?
While soaking is recommended for optimal texture and reduced cooking time, you can cook them directly. Unsoaked peas will require 90-120 minutes of simmering and may have a slightly firmer texture, which some bar applications prefer.
How many servings does a 4.99kg bag provide?
A 4.99kg bag provides approximately 50-60 standard restaurant portions (80-100g cooked serving) or 200+ cocktail garnish portions, depending on your specific application and serving size requirements.
Why do these green peas work well for bar applications?
Green peas offer a unique earthy, slightly sweet flavor that complements botanical spirits like gin. They maintain their shape when cooked, provide natural color, and can be prepared multiple ways - pureed for texture, roasted for crunch, or infused for flavor extraction.
