Peas are one of the cheapest and healthiest legumes, so they should be regularly added to your diet. However, peas have an undeserved reputation as a heavy food that causes bloating and gas.

It is worth knowing that such negative consequences can only occur if you prepare peas incorrectly.

And this type of legume is not only harmless, but also has a lot of valuable properties.

So, what are the 5 secrets of cooking that you should take note of:

1. Even when buying in a store, you cannot be sure that all peas without exception will be of perfect quality. Therefore, you should first sort the peas and only then begin the next stage of cooking.
2. Despite the fact that the peas are pre-soaked, they must first be rinsed under running water.
3. You need to soak the peas correctly. Whole legumes – 8 hours, and split peas – 3 hours. It is not worth increasing the time, as the peas may spoil. If the room is very warm, the time can be reduced. The water should always be cold.
4. If you notice that foam has suddenly appeared in the pan, then the peas will have to be thrown away: they are unsafe for consumption.
5. The chopped peas must be stirred thoroughly and often.
