After a very challenging harvest last year, the pea viners are now in full swing for what promises to be an excellent British pea harvest albeit a little late. It is a precise business and the vining can only happen when the peas are at their perfect state of readiness. An hour too long in the sun and peas will be spoiled. No wonder a machine called a tenderometer must be used, to test the peas’ condition. Meanwhile the trucks are waiting by the field to rush the newly harvested peas to the freezing factories, to lock in all those great nutrients. Amazingly, that takes place within 150 minutes. No wonder nearly every celebrity chef says frozen peas are like a taste of summer all year round.
