When I grow my own, I can scan it for critters as I harvest. Maybe not-so-much with store-bought…?

          I haven’t found critters, but I have family members who are paranoid about it ![]()
When I soak things in water, all I get is. A bit of grit or sand. I’m guessing it’s been cleaned before it gets to me.
In India, finding caterpillars in pea pods is a thing when shelling peas in the winter. I have a pic of my nephew delightedly displaying his first caterpillar pea pod 
 — he must have been 4 or 5.

          Assuming it’s available in the supermarket, I will always buy the organic product. Can’t recall ever seeing anything untoward but maybe I’ve just not been attuned to it.
