About peas, frozen

cpc code 21312 covers the industry of frozen peas, a staple vegetable product with widespread use in both household and commercial food preparation. Frozen peas are a globally traded commodity, with significant production and consumption across many countries. As a versatile and nutritious ingredient, frozen peas play an important role in the broader food and agriculture sector.

Production process

The production of frozen peas involves several key steps. Fresh peas are first harvested, cleaned, and sorted. They are then blanched in hot water or steam to inactivate enzymes and preserve color and texture. After blanching, the peas are rapidly cooled and frozen, often using cryogenic or mechanical freezing methods. The frozen peas are then packaged and stored at low temperatures to maintain quality until distribution and consumption.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the frozen peas industry include fresh pea crops, water for blanching, and energy sources for freezing and refrigeration. Specialized machinery such as pea harvesters, blanching equipment, and freezing units are also essential production inputs. Additionally, packaging materials like bags or boxes are needed to contain and protect the frozen peas.

Production outputs

The primary output of the frozen peas industry is, of course, frozen pea products. These are widely used as ingredients in 21321 Prepared frozen vegetables and 21322 Frozen prepared meals, as well as being sold directly to consumers for home cooking. Frozen peas may also be further processed into other pea-based food products, such as 21323 Pea protein or 21324 Pea flour.
