Customer feedback highlights taste, especially in soup, and perceived value, but reports on texture and cookability are mixed, including experiences of peas staying crunchy or being difficult to cook. For soup and stew buyers, the listed soaking and 20–60 minute cooking guidance makes preparation time and checking tenderness important.
