Description
Bring authentic Caribbean and Latin American flavors to your kitchen with La Fe Green Pigeon Peas, known as Gandules Verdes in Spanish-speaking cultures. These tender, vibrant green legumes are a cornerstone ingredient in traditional Puerto Rican, Dominican, and other Caribbean cuisines, offering a fresh, slightly nutty flavor with a smooth, creamy texture that makes them incredibly versatile for countless recipes.
Green pigeon peas are most famously used in arroz con gandules, Puerto Rico's beloved national dish where they're combined with rice, sofrito, and seasonings to create a hearty, flavorful meal. These nutritious legumes also shine in stews, soups, and curries, absorbing the flavors of garlic, onions, cilantro, and spices beautifully. Unlike their dried counterparts, canned green pigeon peas are already tender and ready to use, making them perfect for quick weeknight dinners or meal prep. They pair wonderfully with pork, chicken, or seafood, and can be seasoned with adobo, sazon, or your favorite Latin spices.
La Fe has been a trusted name in Latin foods, providing authentic ingredients that help home cooks recreate traditional family recipes. These canned gandules verdes save you the time of soaking and cooking dried peas while delivering the same authentic taste. Simply drain, rinse if desired, and add them to your rice dishes, stews, or salads. They're also excellent as a protein-rich side dish, seasoned with olive oil, garlic, and fresh herbs for a simple yet satisfying accompaniment to grilled meats or vegetables.
