frozen Green Peas in FR

Survey conducted between March and June 2021 in Calvados, FR (tested/eaten frozen) -- check out my summary of why frozen peas is the ultimate food):

This is by far the best frozen peas I've tried so far! Indeed "petits pois", they are the most consistently small (and hence easiest to digest), not very starchy tasting, full of fresh, non-starchy sweetness and greenness.
