Storage Guidelines

Commercial storage guidance for southern peas (cowpeas, black-eyed, cream, purplehull, crowder) in the pod. Storage life depends on initial quality, maturity, cultivar and handling; this is not a household shelf-life guarantee.

Peas decay quickly at room temperature, and contact with water greatly speeds deterioration of unshelled peas, so cool them promptly with forced air and keep them refrigerated at high humidity. Source: USDA Agriculture Handbook 66 (rev. 2016).
