Weedwhacker said:Ah, good question, Tom! It looks to me like they're harvested "green," more or less like "English peas" -- or probably either way, depending on how you want to use them. Hope one of our Southern friends will answer this!

I like harvest mine green - just when the pods have turned purple. They are much quicker cooking and more tender this way. Prep & pressure canning time is less. This late in the season, for some reason I'm getting a lot of peas that are dried, I'm keeping those separate & will cook them like dry beans. I suppose once they're dry, you could store them just like you would any dry bean.
