About This Product

The modern garden pea, from which dried peas are made, is believed to have originated from the field pea – a legume native to central Asia and Europe. Dried peas have been consumed by humans for thousands of years, notably in the ancient civilizations of Egypt, Greece and Rome. It was not until the 16th century that cultivation techniques allowed the pea to be consumed in its ‘fresh’ state.

Today, dry peas are consumed around the world. The two most common varieties are green and yellow peas. Green split peas have a stronger flavor than yellow split peas, which have a milder, slightly sweet flavor. ‘Split peas’ are any variety of dry pea that has been split.

Applications of Dry Peas

Whole dried peas are hydrated by soaking, then cooked, canned or frozen as needed. Numerous applications exist for canned or frozen peas exist including soups, stir-fry dishes, pot pies, salads and casseroles. In many Asian countries, dry peas are roasted, salted and consumed as snacks. In the Mediterranean, they are most often added to meat and potatoes to make stews and casseroles.

Peas are highly nutritious and healthy. As such, they are increasingly being used to make flour, protein, starch and fiber fractions.

Benefits of Consuming Dry Peas

Dried peas are highly nutritious and an excellent source of cholesterol-lowering fiber. Their high fiber content makes them effective for helping manage blood-sugar disorders like diabetes, by preventing blood sugar levels from rising rapidly after a meal.

Pea Fiber

Pea fiber fractions offer a natural, more economical and nutritious alternative to gums for baking. Pea fiber fortification can improve dough yileds while also modifying texture to improve uniformity and consistency. This also helps reduce breakage in baked goods like cookies.

Pea Protein

Pea protein is used in healthy, protein-fortified baked goods, snacks, pastas, cereals, energy bars and even beverages. It is a high quality protein that compliments other ingredients like wheat and soy protein thanks to its effective balance of amino acids.

Pea Starch

Pea starch is high in amylose, which makes it a suitable alternative to chemically modified starches. It can be used to alter texture and create fat-like attributes in frozen foods, pasta, cookies, soups and sauces. This helps reduce actual fat contents in the food we eat.
