Canned and Frozen Southern Peas
Several varieties of peas are known as black-eyed or Southern peas, and sometimes by other names such as “cream” and “purple hull.” These immature, succulent peas are both canned and frozen. Sometimes a few “snaps,” tender pieces of the pod, are included with the peas for flavor or garnish. Some canned Southern peas are prepared from mature dry peas. These peas are somewhat starchy and have a different flavor.
