Friday Green Peas Dry(1KG)

Friday Dried Green Peas are carefully selected dried peas that are convenient to store and suitable for a wide variety of homemade dishes. They are a versatile pantry staple that can be used in traditional South Asian recipes as well as everyday soups, curries, rice dishes, salads, and snacks.

Dried green peas are harvested when mature and then dried to reduce their moisture content. Unlike fresh green peas, dried peas have a firm texture and need to be soaked and cooked before eating. Once properly cooked, they become soft and tender and can absorb the flavors of spices, sauces, and other ingredients.
