Production & Sourcing
Harvesting and Preparation: Fresh peas are harvested when they are at their peak ripeness. They are then sorted to remove any damaged or immature peas. The peas are thoroughly washed and blanched briefly in boiling water to deactivate enzymes and preserve their color and nutritional value.
Freezing: The blanched peas are quickly frozen to a very low temperature. This rapid freezing helps in preserving the peas’ structure and nutrient content before the next step.
Freeze-Drying: The frozen peas are then freeze-dried through a process called sublimation, which transforms the frozen water in the peas directly into vapor. This effectively removes the moisture from the peas.
And you have your Freeze-Dried Whole Peas!
