Harvesting

Organic yellow split peas are typically harvested in the late summer or early autumn months when they have reached full maturity. These legumes are grown in fields where they are carefully tended to ensure they reach their peak quality. The composition of yellow split peas includes high levels of protein, fibre, and essential nutrients such as folate, iron, and potassium. After harvesting, the peas are carefully dried to preserve their natural properties. The natural raw product is a vibrant yellow colour, which is indicative of its freshness and quality. As part of the natural raw product makeup, yellow split peas are rich in vitamins and minerals, including vitamin B, magnesium, and zinc.

During processing, the peas are typically split in half, resulting in the familiar shape that makes them ideal for use in soups, stews, and other dishes. No additional nutrients or minerals are added to the organic yellow split peas, as they are naturally packed with essential elements that contribute to a healthy diet. Overall, the process of harvesting and growing organic yellow split peas ensures that they retain their natural goodness, making them a valuable and nutritious ingredient for a variety of culinary creations.

The organic nature of Organic Yellow 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 Yellow 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.
