The texture difference is still noticeable in some applications though. They can get slightly mushy compared to fresh shelled peas in a salad. They're a great tool for purees and busy services, just not a perfect one-for-one swap.

What about using them in cooked dishes where texture isn't as key? They're a lifesaver for quick meals. As @the_kai pointed out, the mushiness is a problem in salads. But for soups or stews, frozen peas work just fine. I always keep a bag in the freezer for when fresh isn't an option.

My last kitchen job kept a case of frozen peas in the walk-in at all times. We'd toss a handful into pasta water right at the end for a quick veg, or smash them with mint and lemon for a last-minute fish garnish. They're a total cheat code for adding color and a bit of sweetness when you're in the weeds. Just don't cook them to death.
