Peas, Mangetout

Mangetout (coming from French, meaning 'eat all') peas are a seasonal delicacy that will only be around until late June on our farm. They are phenomenal when eaten fresh. The pods are designed to be eaten whole, shell and all and they are tender and high in sugar. They are best eaten as close to harvest as possible for maximum flavour and sweetness. As the pods age, the sugar turns to starch and they lose some of their flavour. Therefore, we always pick just before we pack our orders to ensure maximum freshness for our customers. Mangetout peas can be eaten raw (as a snack or in salads) or lightly steamed/sauteed
