Peas

Choose bright green, firm, young pods with a little air-space left between the individual peas. Avoid discoloured or wrinkled pods, overfull pods may contain hard, tough peas so avoid these too. Peas should be eaten as fresh as possible for the very best flavour.

What about dried peas available as time pass snacks? Do they have any nutritional value or they only add to empty calories?

Dried peas are good and they are high in protein content... however u should be careful when u snack the roasted and fried ones....
