Whole Blue Peas are the same peas used for Split Green Peas but with the skin left on. They’re a firm but tasty pea with plenty of bite and superb in spicy dishes.

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

Soak overnight, drain and rinse. Place in a pan with plenty of water, bring to boil, cover and simmer for 45-60 minutes until tender.

NOTES ON COOKING DRIED PULSES

Cooking times for dried pulses will be longer at higher altitudes and when cooking with hard water.

Adding bicarbonate of soda during soaking and/or cooking will soften the pulses and reduce the cooking time.

Cooked pulses can be used immediately or frozen for later use.
