Frozen Black-eyed Peas from Japan
Frozen black-eyed peas (Pisum sativum subspecies, often field peas) are shelled mature peas frozen for Southern cuisine. They classify under HTS 0710.21.40.00 as 'other' frozen peas, distinct from fresh or dried forms. Blanching ensures provisional preservation without rendering them ready-to-eat.
