Presentation

Steaming mangetout peas is a great way to prepare them, helping them retain their nutrients better.

Do not overcook

Mangetout peas only need a short cooking time. Do not cook them too long, or they will lose their crunchy texture and fresh flavour. Keep a close eye on the cooking time to get them perfectly cooked.

Growing Method

The mangetout pea is grown both in open ground and in the greenhouse. In open ground, the plant grows in the natural soil, while in the greenhouse the plant grows in substrate or soil under protection of glass or plastic. These cultivation methods affect the growing conditions and protection of the plant, resulting in different characteristics of the final product.
