Originating in the Middle East over 10,000 years ago, dried peas have since gone global and were key in preventing famine in 1500's England. With their hearty flavor and soft texture, our Organic Split Green Peas are, of course, the perfect start to a slow-simmered split pea soup recipe, but they're also a terrific salad topping, adding filling protein and fiber. Just prepare, chill and spoon over your favorite salad.
