"They're a quick, easy way to get a good amount of protein, fiber, iron, manganese, calcium, and antioxidants, and are low-calorie - plus, for the pea lovers out there, they do in fact taste great and add toothsome pops of earthy, subtly sweet herbaceousness to any dish. That is, of course, as long as you choose the right brand. To help ensure you stock up on delicious and not disappointing peas, we ranked 10 brands of canned peas, from worst to best."
"Great Value is one of Walmart's house brands in addition to Bettergoods and Marketside. Its peas are indeed cheap, around $0.76 compared to other brands like Del Monte, Green Giant, Goya, and, our favorite, Libby, which typically range from about $1.39 to $2.59. But it's hard to call something a "great value" just because it's cheap if the product itself isn't actually good or high-quality, and Walmart's peas are not."
Canned peas provide protein, fiber, iron, manganese, calcium and antioxidants while remaining low in calories and adding subtle, herbaceous flavor and texture to dishes. Flavor and texture vary significantly across brands, so brand choice affects enjoyment. A ranking of 10 canned-pea brands places Libby's Sweet Peas first and Walmart's Great Value peas last. Walmart's Great Value small and sweet peas cost about $0.76 but are described as bland, lacking moisture and bite, and they do not promise BPA-free can linings. Competing brands typically range from $1.39 to $2.59, and Libby uses non-BPA cans. Many shoppers choose to pay more for noticeably better taste and quality.
