Dried peas growing in popularity as a good source of protein and ingredient for plant-based diets

Dried peas are a great alternative when fresh ones are out of season since they are not as perishable as fresh ones and they can be transported for long distances.
They are produced by harvesting the pea pods when they are fully mature and drying them. Once they are dried and the skins are removed, they will split naturally. They are an increasingly popular product as dried peas are a good source of protein and a basic ingredient of plant-based diets.
