Pea Greens

About: Pea greens are young pea vines.  They impart the taste of fresh summer peas and are crispy and tender.

Storage:  Eat as soon as possible. They are best very fresh.  Store in a bag in the crisper, which is coldest part of the refrigerator.

Tips: To cook them simply saute them with some olive oil and garlic, scallions, or shallots, sprinkle with lemon juice.  Like spinach, they cook down quite a bit. 

QuickFix: Eat them raw or toss them in a salad like you would with sprouts.
