Select Peas for Their Use

Early Variety peas are delicious served as a vegetable and are

especially suitable because of their smoothness and uniform >

roundness for garnishing for salads, with meats or in soups
where the whole pea is used. The No. 1 size of pea is a gar-
nishing pea served with chops; the No. 2 and 8 sizes are excellent
served as vegetables and the No. 4 and 5 are excellent for purees
and cream soups. In the latter case “Standard Quality” of the
Early Variety is the best buy, where the increasing quantity of
starch is desirable in soups, purees and souffles.

The Sweet. Variety of pea is essentially for service as a
separate vegetable because of its excellent flavor, though it may
be used in all of the ways that the Early Variety is used.

Use Peas in Bill-of-Fare
The garden pea and the canned pea are both inadequate muscle

builders when used alone, but when served with wheat bread or

sweet corn or canned corn or with milk, they are a decided aid
in muscle building, thus reducing the necessity for so much
expensive food in the diet. Peas never take the place of mak,
eggs, or meat, but they supplement them.

Peas lend themselves to the easy planning of the well-flavored
and well-balanced meal because of their color, flavor and food
value and the ease with which they may be prepared in a short
time from the opening of the can to the service on the table.
