Rules for choosing ingredients for peas
Unshelled peas have the highest nutritional value, but cooking them takes a long time and is difficult to achieve a uniform consistency. Therefore, to prepare peas, it is better to choose shelled and crushed types of cereals. Dry peas come in different colors: green, red or yellow.
Any type of porridge will work, but yellow is said to produce more texture and flavor.
And the availability of this pea cereal all year round in any store makes it more preferable from an economic point of view. You need to carefully consider the cereal you buy. High-quality grains have a size of no more than 3-4 mm and are brightly colored. Larger peas indicate forage varieties and have a more rigid structure.
Peeled peas must be hermetically sealed, as moisture can have a detrimental effect on the shelf life and safety of the cereal. It is necessary to pay attention to the production time of cereals. The older it is, the more difficult it is to boil the product. For porridge, it is advisable to choose peas from the current or last year, not older.
Peas should be stored in a dark, dry place, preferably in a glass container with an airtight lid. You can place a small cloth bag with salt or rice in the container to absorb moisture.
