Harvesting

Organic green split peas are typically harvested in the late summer or early autumn months when they have reached full maturity. After harvesting, the peas are carefully dried to preserve their natural green colour and nutritional content. They are then split, removing the outer husk, and processed to ensure they are free from any impurities. This process helps to maintain the natural raw product makeup of the peas, ensuring they retain their high nutritional value.

Green split peas have high levels of protein, fibre, and essential nutrients such as iron, magnesium, and potassium. As a natural raw product, organic green split peas do not have added nutrients, vitamins, or minerals. Their inherent composition provides a wealth of health benefits, making them a great addition to a balanced diet.

The organic nature of Organic Green Split Peas means that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

Best Before

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.

Packaging & Storage

You’ll receive your Organic Green Split Peas in a compostable kraft bag (unless you chose to get a compostable resealable pouch instead). These will be fine stored in the kraft bag for an extended time although, we recommend decanting and storing them in an airtight container to maintain optimum quality. Once decanted, you can save multiple bags and return them to us for a reward.
