Storage Notes: Peas must be cooled promptly and kept cold because sugar and flavor drop quickly; edible-pod peas yellow and lose tenderness when warm or exposed to ethylene, and surface moisture should be avoided unless they are kept very cold. Highest freezing point: -0.6°C. Source: USDA Agriculture Handbook 66 (rev. 2016).
