  • Sunday Recipe: Raw Green Pea Hummus

    My sister introduced me to this very quick, easy and yummy hummus recipe. And it’s raw!  I use the organic frozen peas from Picard or Naturalia. Peas are generally frozen shortly after picking (but some brands may be blanched prior to freezing.) Frozen products are still considered raw: although a small amount of enzymes are…
