A Box of Canned Peas is a shop box that holds 6 cans of Canned Peas. It is a bulk way to carry and store a vegetable that keeps for a long time. The box weighs 4.0, which is less than the 4.8 that six loose cans weigh.
The Open Box of Canned Food recipe empties the box into 6 cans. Six loose cans can go back into a box with the Pack 6 Cans of Food in Box recipe. Boxes of canned peas are a rare find in grocery stores, cafeteria kitchens and survivor caches.
Eating
The food is in the cans inside the box. Each can needs a Can Opener, a Sharp Knife or a Chipped Stone to open. An opened can of peas lowers hunger by 16 and thirst by 3. It holds 280 calories, with 14 grams of protein, which is a fair amount for a vegetable.
The peas are good hot, so a warmed can gives a small mood lift. They also work as a cooking ingredient. An opened can adds 16 hunger to a Soup, a Stew, a Stir Fry or a Rice dish. It adds 8 to an Omelette.

Storage
Sealed cans keep without spoiling, so a box of canned peas suits a long term food store. Once a can is opened, the peas stay fresh for 2 days and are fully rotten by day 4. A fridge slows both counts down. The cans are best opened one at a time, only when they will be used.
Locations
A Box of Canned Peas is a rare find. Grocery stores and grocery storage rooms hold one now and then. Cafeteria kitchen shelves, general stores and the shelves at Gigamart turn one up a little less often. Survivor food caches, survivor crates and house kitchens hold one only once in a long while.
