Peas of Mind is a San Francisco company started by a mom who despaired of finding healthier snack (read: junk) food for her family. The result? Found in the frozen food aisles of Whole Foods and Targets nationwide. Peas of Mind offers Puffets, hockey-pucks of rice, pasta, and vegetables, Veggie Wedges, French fries made out of things other than potatoes, and new Peas of Pie, with broccoli and carrots kneaded into the crust.
The vegetable content is not that dazzling really: 1.5 vegetable servings for pies that supposedly serve 3. Considering that most moms think of “sauce” as the vegetable in a pizza, a tiny bit more vegetable content isn’t that thrilling. However, after buying a Peas of Pie cheese pizza at a local Whole Foods store and giving it a try, I’d have to say, it’s pretty good. If you didn’t know to look for them, you’d never see the veg-flecks, and the crust is tender and well-flavored, the sauce tangy but not spicy. I’ll buy it again.
