Please note that the bulk pack has air perforations to prevent popping, but this does not introduce safety or quality issues. Certified organic, naturally farmed, and fresh frozen peas from Belgium. Available as a 4 pack set of 250g bags (total 1kg) or a bulk 2.5kg bag. No use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. GMO-free. Freshly harvested, blanched, then individually flash-frozen (IQF) for freshness and quality. Frozen peas are a popular, versatile, and very convenient vegetable. Because they are individually quick frozen you can easily take the amount required straight from the freezer and use it as usual. Blanching is a non-chemical simple process of scalding the vegetables for 60 seconds in 90°C (200°F) hot water and then shock cooling in ice water to stop the cooking process. Blanching stops enzyme actions that cause loss of flavor, color, and texture, it also cleanses the surface of dirt and organisms, brightens the color, and helps to preserve the vitamins. About Certified Organic This product is certified Japan Agricultural Standard Organic (JAS) - both in the country of origin and Japan. Japan has one of the world's strictest organic certification standards. But what does certified organic mean when it comes to fruits and vegetables? ✔ Strictly tested for E Coli, coliforms, molds, yeasts as well as listeria and salmonella and therefore meets very high microbiological safety standards.✔ Free of harmful synthetic chemical inputs such as fertilizer, pesticides or any food additives.✔ Free of genetically modified seeds (non-GMO)✔ The farmland and soil in use are free of any chemical treatments.✔ Organic produce is heavily regulated. Producers and importers are checked and inspected by governmental bodies or certified third parties. Organic certification requires detailed bookkeeping and documentation for 100% traceability. "Certified organic" is a protected phrase and the use is legally restricted.✔ Organic farming is more sustainable when it comes to holistic food production. The lack of harmful pesticides is better for the environment.✔ Organic produce comes mostly from family-owned farms that own smaller acres of organic land.It is also important to mention that organic produce is more cost-intensive. Organic farming has lower yields compared to conventional farming and is oftentimes more labor-intensive as well. Additionally, organic certification and audits require annual fees for producers, exporters, and importers resulting in higher prices for the end consumers. Please note that non-GMO and chemical-free produce will often have a minor degree of defects; these may include individual differences like slight deformities, discoloration, and under/over ripeness. In rare cases there may be insect damage, scratches, or mold which cannot be seen during inspections. However, these are not harmful and can simply be removed. Thank you for your understanding.
