Unlock the Culinary Potential of Blue Peas

Looking for a nutritious and affordable pantry staple in New Zealand? Spice n Easy's Whole Blue Peas are a classic ingredient that delivers on both health and flavour. Often used in their split form (as yellow split peas), cooking them whole provides a slightly different texture and a beautiful, natural appearance in dishes.

A Note on Blue Peas: You might know them better once they're split! Whole blue peas are the original form of the familiar yellow split pea. They have a blue-grey skin which, when removed and the pea is split in half, reveals the bright yellow interior. Whole peas offer a heartier, more textured result, making them incredibly versatile.

How to Use Whole Blue Peas in Your Kitchen:

• Authentic Indian Dhal: Slow-cook with turmeric, cumin, ginger, and garlic for a classic, comforting dish.

• Hearty Pea & Ham Soup: A timeless favourite. Their creamy texture is perfect for a robust, warming soup.

• Wholesome Stews & Curries: Add body and protein to vegetarian and meat-based stews and curries.

• Mash them: Cook until very soft and mash with garlic and herbs for a delicious twist on traditional mushy peas.

• Salads & Sides: Cook until tender but still intact and use in cold salads or as a protein-packed side dish.

Cooking Tip: For best results and to reduce cooking time, soak whole blue peas in cold water for 6-8 hours or overnight before cooking.
