Dried peas are dehydrated legumes that retain their nutritional properties. Available whole or split, green or yellow, they have a sweet, earthy flavor and a floury texture after cooking. Rich in plant-based proteins, fiber, iron, potassium, and B vitamins, they often require soaking before cooking. Ideal for soups, creamy soups, purees, and stews, they provide an excellent base for nutritious and creamy dishes.
