100% organic split green peas, ideal for creamy soups, velvety dishes, and plant-based protein preparations. Sweet flavor and soft texture after cooking.

features and properties: Split green peas consist exclusively of organic split green peas. They appear as small light green granules that break down during cooking, turning into a creamy texture. This legume is valued as a source of plant proteins and fiber; it also has a relatively low fat content and provides B vitamins and minerals such as iron and magnesium.

how to use: Before use, it is advisable to rinse the peas under running water to remove any impurities. Split peas generally do not require soaking and cook faster than whole legumes; the indicative cooking time ranges from 20 to 35 minutes, varying depending on the quantity and age of the product. [Inferenza] To maximize flavor, it is best to add salt only at the end of cooking and use vegetable broth instead of water. If a smooth texture is desired, blend the peas with an immersion blender at the end of cooking.

in the kitchen: Split peas are ideal for soups and veloutés: a sauté of onion, carrot, and celery, the addition of peas and broth, and prolonged cooking create a soft and enveloping cream. They can replace chickpeas in preparations like hummus, offering a bright color and delicate flavor, and are perfect for dhal and spiced curries in Indian or Middle Eastern style. Combining cooked split peas with grains like rice or quinoa, aromatic herbs, and spices results in vegetable patties or burgers to bake or pan-fry; boiled and cooled, they are also suitable for enriching cold salads and bowls to increase protein content.

For a quick recipe: sauté onion and garlic in a drizzle of oil, add 200 g of previously rinsed split peas and about 1 liter of vegetable broth, cook for 25–30 minutes until the peas are soft, blend with an immersion blender, season with salt and pepper, and finish with a drizzle of oil and croutons.
