To date, about two dozen low-mass embedded protostars exhibit rich spectra with lines of complex organic molecule (COM). These seem to possess different enrichment in COMs. However, the statistics COM abundance are limited by scarcity observations. This study introduces Perseus ALMA Chemistry Survey (PEACHES), which aims at unbiasedly characterizing chemistry COMs toward (Class 0/I) molecular cloud. Of 50 surveyed, 58% them have emission from A 56%, 32%, and 40% CH$_3$OH, CH$_3$OCHO,...
