Suitability of peas for freezing

Pisum sativum L.

A complex indicator that determines the ability of marrowfat varieties to retain their taste, texture, and deep green color after thermal processing and defrosting.

In the reference 313 varieties crop Pea, where this is mentioned in the description.

Marrowfat varieties containing higher sugar and lower starch content are preferred for freezing, as they ensure a tender consistency of the product. A critically important condition is maintaining the integrity of the seed coat, as damage to it leads to the leaching of soluble substances during blanching, which degrades the taste and marketability.

The suitability of a variety for processing is also determined by its genetic ability to retain pigment during thermal processing and the stability of biochemical indicators under various growing conditions. Varieties should demonstrate responsiveness to the environment to ensure uniform ripening and predictable raw material quality throughout the entire season.
