Del Monte Canned Fresh Cut Sweet Peas

Del Monte, Memories of Childhood

A couple of weeks ago, I purchased a 15 ounce can of Del Monte canned Fresh Cut Sweet Peas to serve with Sloppy Joes and I’m very glad that I did so. These canned peas impressed me so much, that I have decided to review them. Presented here, in an effort to assist the consumer, is one food writer’s product review of Del Monte canned Fresh Cut Sweet Peas.

Size
The net weight of the standard sized container of Del Monte canned Fresh Cut Sweet Peas is 15 ounces (425 grams). According to the product’s nutrition facts label, the container holds about 3.5 one – half cup servings.

When I recently ate these peas, I received two good sized servings from the container.

Price
The regular retail price charged for one 15 ounce container of Del Monte canned Fresh Cut Sweet Peas at Hartford, Connecticut area supermarkets is approximately $1.39. Although this price seems a little high to me, these are high quality, delicious peas. The per serving cost of these peas works out to roughly $0.40.

Texture / Consistency
These canned peas offer a pleasing texture that to me, evokes nostalgic memories of childhood meals. The peas are soft, yet slightly firm and not at all mushy, as some varieties of canned peas are wont to be. When I ate Del Monte canned Fresh Cut Sweet Peas recently, they simmered on the stovetop at low heat for quite a while and they maintained their appealing texture.

Taste / Flavor
When it comes to reviewing canned peas, there is nothing extraordinary to report about their flavor. Del Monte canned Fresh Cut Sweet Peas feature a nice, pleasing flavor that goes well with virtually any type of main dish.
Of course, not everyone enjoys eating canned peas. If you are a fan of them, these peas are a particularly good version of the item. If you’re not used to eating canned peas, you might consider trying these little green orbs.

Their mellow flavor reminds me of the peas that were served as part of public school lunches when I was in elementary school. To this day, I still retain fond memories of school lunch food, which, being a brown bagger, I was able to eat only once in a while.

On a flavor scale of one through ten, I would assign this product a rating of 9.5.

Packaging
Del Monte canned Fresh Cut Sweet Peas are packaged in a standard type, metal vegetable can. The mostly – green front label features a close up illustration of peas and pea pods and the rear label lists all relevant ingredient and nutritional information.

Overall Rating
All things considered, Del Monte canned Fresh Cut Sweet Peas are very tasty, traditional style canned peas that are a great accompaniment to almost any type of entree. This product is highly recommended.
