These tender, nutritious legumes are carefully canned to preserve their natural flavor and provide convenient access to this beloved staple of Latin American and Caribbean cooking.
Pigeon peas, known as "gandules" in Spanish, offer a distinctive earthy flavor with subtle nutty undertones and a pleasantly firm texture that holds up beautifully in both quick meals and slow-cooked dishes.

They're incredibly versatile and can be used straight from the can or incorporated into countless recipes. Create the classic Puerto Rican "arroz con gandules" (rice with pigeon peas), add them to hearty stews and soups, or mix them into salads for extra protein and fiber.
These canned pigeon peas are perfect for busy weeknight dinners when you want to prepare traditional Caribbean dishes without extensive prep time. They pair wonderfully with rice, sofrito, plantains, and pork, making them ideal for authentic Latin meals. Whether you're maintaining family traditions or exploring new flavors, El Jibarito Pigeon Peas provide an easy way to add nutritious legumes to your diet while experiencing the rich culinary heritage of the Caribbean islands.
