Green Peas
(Whole)

Whole Green Peas (Psum Sativum) are part of the legume family. Whole
peas are husked and about 1/4 of an inch wide and pale green in
color. Split peas have a mild flavor and soft texture. The Split Pea
has more of an earthy flavor than the whole dried pea, similar to
the lentil in versatility and nourishment. Whole Dried Peas have a
history going back some 10,000 years. Originally from the Middle
East, peas soon spread through the Mediterranean region and on to
India and China. The cultivation of peas in Europe helped to stave
off a famine in England in 1555. Peas are most commonly used in
their split form. Whole Green Peas are an acceptable substitute for
fresh peas.
Suggested Use:
Whole Green Peas were traditionally cooked to a puree and then mashed
to make a thick porridge. Peas often break down while cooking and
therefore, they make an excellent choice for thick and hearty soups.
Peas can also be used to make a mock cream soup for people avoiding
dairy products.
