Iberia Whole Green Peas

Discover the authentic taste of traditional Latin cuisine with Iberia Whole Green Peas, a versatile legume that brings both nutrition and flavor to your kitchen. These dried whole green peas are a cornerstone ingredient in countless Latin American, Caribbean, and Spanish dishes, offering home cooks an essential pantry staple for creating hearty, satisfying meals. Iberia, a trusted name in Latin foods for over four decades, sources these whole green peas to deliver the authentic ingredients that connect families to their culinary heritage. These dried legumes feature a mild, earthy flavor with a slightly sweet undertone and cook down to a creamy, tender texture that's perfect for absorbing surrounding flavors. Unlike split peas, whole green peas maintain their shape during cooking, making them ideal for stews, soups, and rice dishes where you want distinct pea pieces rather than a smooth puree. Whole green peas shine in traditional preparations like Cuban black beans and rice, Puerto Rican rice with gandules, and Spanish potajes. They're also excellent in hearty winter stews, curry dishes, and as a protein-rich addition to vegetable soups. Before cooking, rinse the peas and soak them overnight to reduce cooking time and ensure even tenderness. They pair beautifully with sofrito, garlic, onions, and aromatic spices like cumin and bay leaves. Whether you're preparing a weeknight family dinner or celebrating cultural traditions, these whole green peas provide the authentic foundation for memorable Latin-inspired meals that bring people together around the table.
