#### Storing Cooked Peas
Cooked peas should be cooled quickly, then stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Consume within 3–4 days for the best taste and safety. For longer storage, cooked peas can also be frozen following the same freezing steps.
#### Tips to Remember
* Avoid washing fresh peas until you’re ready to use them to prevent premature spoilage.
* Label freezer bags with the date to keep track of storage times.
* When cooking frozen peas, there’s no need to thaw—just cook directly from frozen for the best texture.
