There are possibly 80 billion galaxies in the universe, so that means that there are about 4Ã1068 Ã 8Ã1010 = 3Ã1079 hydrogen atoms in the observable universe. But this is definitely a lower limit calculation, and it ignores many possible atom sources such as intergalactic gas.
Bring the water to a boil and steam the peas for no more than three to four minutes. Steam the peas for less time if you plan to incorporate the peas into a heated dish. Remove the pot from the heat and plunge the steamed peas into a bath of ice water to stop the cooking process and to help the peas retain their color.
Otherwise, simply open the pods and remove the peas. While you are shelling the peas, have a pot of water coming to a boil on the stove. Blanch. Prepare a large bowl of ice water. Once all of the peas are shelled, drop them into the pot of rapidly boiling water. Let them cook for just 1 1/2 minutes.
