Canned Peas are a sealed tin of green peas that keeps without spoiling. They are one of the more filling canned vegetables, with plenty of energy and a fair share of protein. A can needs a Can Opener, a Sharp Knife or a Chipped Stone to open.

Once opened, the can becomes Canned Peas (Open). The peas can be heated and eaten, or added to soups, stews, stir fries, rice dishes and omelettes. Canned Peas are a common find in grocery stores, general stores and kitchens.

Eating

The peas are eaten once the can is open. The opened can lowers hunger by 16 and thirst by 3. It holds 280 calories, with 52.5 grams of carbohydrates and 14 grams of protein. That is a strong showing for a canned vegetable and helps keep body weight up.

The peas are good hot, so heating them before eating gives a small mood lift. Canned Corn (Open) also lowers hunger by 16 and holds 315 calories. Canned Carrots (Open) lowers hunger by only 12. Canned Potato (Open) lowers it by 18 but holds 175 calories.

The table shows the game figures for one serving. Negative hunger and thirst fill the character up, and negative unhappiness and boredom cheer them up.

Storage

A sealed can of peas keeps without spoiling, so it can wait on a shelf for as long as needed. Once opened, the peas stay fresh for 2 days and are fully rotten by day 4. A fridge slows both counts down. The best plan is to open a can only when it will be eaten or cooked right away.

Locations

Canned Peas are a common find. Grocery stores and grocery storage rooms hold them about a third of the time. The shelves at Gigamart, grocery stores and general stores carry them fairly often.
