Shell Peas

While working in the Arctic towards the end of the WWI, Clarence Birdseye observed the effects of freezing foods. He lived on fish and game frozen rapidly in the Arctic cold and saw that the thawed food was fresh-tasting and tender.

In 1930, Birdseye started a company which soon become an internationally recognized brand by freezing peas.
