Native to the Mediterranean region, peas are one of the oldest domesticated crops. Peas have since found their way into soups, stews, stir-fries, and other recipes around the world. They have a sweet, yet savory flavor and add a pop of green color. Peas pair well with carrots, dill, and black pepper
Peas are little-known nutrient powerhouses, containing protein and a high concentration of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and phytonutrients. Studies show peas may benefit eye, digestive, blood sugar, heart, and immune health, along with a healthy inflammatory response.(1)
Peas are a popular ingredient in pet food as well – especially limited ingredient dog and cat food. As they do for humans, peas provide nutrition, carbohydrates, and protein, as well as support the health of our furry friends.(2)
Our air-dried and freeze-dried peas can be used in a variety of applications, including instant noodles, canned or dry soup, Instant Pot ready meals, and instant pasta, as well as wet food and toppers for dogs and cats.
