If palak is the winter classic, then matar (peas) is the winter celebrity, the true VIP of the Indian middle-class household. The moment temperatures dip in Noida and Greater Noida, every kitchen begins its seasonal chant: Is saal ki pehli matar ki sabzi banaun? Fresh green peas arrive like little pearls of sweetness, transforming even the simplest dishes into winter comfort magic.
And let’s be honest, opening a packet of frozen peas is convenient, but popping open a pod of fresh, bright-green matar? That’s an emotion. This year, you can skip early-morning mandi trips and simply order fresh, hand-picked winter peas straight from local farms through FarmLokal. No adulteration, no stale stock, just sweet, crunchy, farm-fresh matar delivered to your doorstep, with easy payment options like UPI, wallet, or net banking.
Why Matar Deserves Its Winter Hype
Fresh green peas are rich in fibre, Vitamins A, B & C, plant protein, and antioxidants.They support digestion, boost energy, and help maintain blood sugar levels, and when fresh, they taste unbelievably good.
Good-quality peas (like the ones sourced from local farmers on FarmLokal) also preserve their natural sweetness, making winter recipes truly shine.
