Field pea
Field pea is the dried seed of a pea crop, sold whole or split for soups, stews and savoury dishes, or sometimes milled into flour.
About Field pea
Field pea refers to the dried seed of a pea crop, commonly sold whole or split, rather than to fresh garden peas. The seeds are typically round and may be green or yellow, with a dry, starchy texture. Their flavour is mild and earthy, becoming softer and more pronounced when cooked.
Field peas are usually cooked after soaking or rinsing, then used in soups, stews, and other savoury preparations. They are also milled into flour in some food traditions. Cooking time and texture depend on whether the peas are whole or split and on their age and processing.
