Shell the peas. Do this on the same day you buy fresh peas from the market. Rinse them well with water. Set aside.
In a big vessel/pan, bring plenty of water to boil. When water boils, add the peas. Make sure the pan/vessel is big enough for the peas to move and get cooked. If the vessel is not big, then do this process in 2 batches. This process is called Blanching. Blanch the peas till they float on to the top, this will take about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.
At this stage, remove the peas from hot water and put the peas immediately in ice cold water to prevent further cooking.
Let it remain in cold water for a few minutes. Drain all the water and spread them on a kitchen towel to dry. Before storing make sure that the peas are completely dry and there is no moisture remaining. Store them in a ziplock bag or any air tight container and keep in the freezer.
