Green Peas Dried

Whole dried green peas from certified organic farms, unpolished and free of the artificial colouring that dried peas are sometimes given to restore the vivid green they lose in drying. A natural dried pea is a muted, slightly dusty green rather than a bright one — if it looks like a frozen pea, something has been added. These are the peas for ragda, for matar chaat, and for the slow-cooked preparations where a fresh pea would disintegrate. They need a genuine overnight soak, and they take longer than most pulses to soften. Good protein and fibre content, with a natural sweetness that develops as they cook down. Also useful sprouted. Pure & Sure sources these from certified organic farms and tests every harvest against 250+ pesticide residues in NABL and ISO 17025 accredited laboratories, which for a commodity like dried peas is meaningfully more documentation than the loose version carries.
