Dried Blue Peas - 1kg or 3kg
Grown in New Zealand, these dried whole blue peas are easy to prepare and add to any dish. With a sweeter flavour than yellow peas, they can be used as a protein substitute for meat in soups, stews, and casseroles
Ingredients: Blue Peas
Country of Origin: New Zealand
Enjoy Me...
- Neither soaking nor fast-boiling is required for cooking whole blue peas. They only require low-boiling for approximately 90 minutes
How Interesting...
- Dried peas, a small but nutritionally mighty member of the legume family, are a very good source of cholesterol-lowering fibre. Not only can dried peas help lower cholesterol, they are also of special benefit in managing blood-sugar disorders since their high fibre content prevents blood sugar levels from rising rapidly after a meal.
- Dried peas also provide good to excellent amounts of four important minerals, two B-vitamins, and protein - all with virtually no fat. Dried peas also feature isoflavones (notably daidzein). Isoflavones are phytonutrients that can act like weak estrogens in the body and whose dietary consumption has been linked to a reduced risk of certain health conditions, including breast and prostate cancer.
