The woollies homebrand peas are really dreadful.

No matter how I cook them or for how long theyre hard and starchy.

It’s so dreadful, thank god I managed to get peas from Aldi. I didn’t notice the Aldi peas being like that but I’ll find out in the next few days if I was just imagining it.

Aldi frozen stuff is usually solid in quality. I think most of it is packed in Europe, so that might be why.

  Yeah. I normally get most of my frozen veg from Aldi now, seemed to be better in quality.

  Their frozen green beans are shit. A lot of stalks in there. They might’ve changed now. It’s been years since I bought them from there.

    I have never found good frozen green beans. It’s a veggie we always get fresh.

    I use both. Frozen beans are usually an after thought in a stir fry to balance the colours.

Probably left a bit long before harvest?

You could treat them like the starchy marrowfat peas. Have some mushy peas with a pie or fish and chips

  I’m almost done with the pack so I’ll be rid of them soon.
  
  Just had enough after 3kg of them.
