Chef Bobby Flay advocates the use of frozen peas over fresh due to their retention of peak sweetness and nutrients. In a cooking demonstration, he explains that fresh peas lose flavor and nutrition quickly after harvesting, becoming starchy and less appealing. Frozen peas, however, are harvested and processed swiftly to lock in their qualities, providing a more reliable option. They are not only convenient but also nutritious, with about 8 grams of protein per cup, making them a valuable addition to meals.
