Don't know about peas, but here is what I do. I stocked up on canned beans and meats. I like canned chili , canned tomatoes, beets, and prepared soups too. Rice and corn torillas I keep a good stock of those since I don't eat wheat. Frozen meats and veggies to go through first. It will be getting cold here so we keep the freezers in an outdoor building. Bought some uncured sausages and franks. Anything that takes a lot of water and cooking time isn't worth the energy expenditure.
