canned peas
Jarred green spheres
Canned peas are peas that have been cooked and sealed in metal cans for long-term storage.
They're softer and duller in color than fresh or frozen peas, with a distinctive taste some find nostalgic and others find unappetizing.
A staple of mid-twentieth-century American cooking, they remain common in pantries as a quick, inexpensive vegetable: Just heat up some canned peas as a side.
