Default Minted Peas?

Yesterday we went into town to pick up a few supplies and I noticed
these bags of (freeze dried?) peas. Instructions say to put them into
cold water, cover, bring to a boil then simmer for three minutes,
drain and serve. They are supposed to be just like fresh.

I was interested in them as it seemed they could be kept for long
periods of time in the dried goods locker on the boat and they are
light in weight.

What I didn’t notice was that they are minted. I’ve never heard of
putting mint flavor into peas before. Are they used especially for
certain dishes? Have any of you used these before?

Since they are minted I guess we will try them with the roast lamb
that’s in the oven right now. I’ll let you know what I think of them
later.
