Instruction manual
1
Look at the variety. If the peas are of the first grade, then this is "brain", it is soft and full of taste, if the second is hard and not very tasty.
2
Look at the jar; it should not be damaged. Make sure there are no dents or swelling.
3
Shake the jar. There should not be a thud, if any, which indicates a small amount of liquid in the jar or the dryness of the peas themselves. Also, there should be no gurgling, if there is one, then there is a lot of air in the bank, which is also not good.
4
In a glass jar, look at the appearance of the peas. They should be whole, bright green, and the brine should be clean and transparent.
5
Look at the date of manufacture. It should coincide with the timing of the harvest and fall in late spring and early summer. If it does not match, then the peas were previously frozen or or soaked.
