What are Maple Peas?

Maple peas are a variety of Pisum sativum (field peas), typically small and round with a dark brown to purplish hue. They are known for their dense, starchy texture and mildly sweet, earthy flavor. Commonly featured in traditional UK dishes such as mushy peas, maple peas also lend themselves well to soups, stews, salads, and increasingly, plant-based recipes. In addition to their culinary uses, they are valued in livestock nutrition as a sustainable source of protein and starch.

Trends & Industry Insights

Historically rooted in British cuisine, maple peas are experiencing renewed interest due to the global rise in plant-based eating and sustainable agriculture. With their mottled brown-red coat, maple peas are a specialty ingredient in niche snack and feed markets. Their robust skin and earthy flavor set them apart from smoother varieties like white peas or the softer marrowfat peas, though all three are used in rehydrated or canned food applications.

Canada alone shipped approximately 2.76 million metric tons in 2021, primarily to Asia (China, Japan, and India).Production saw a 50.8% decline from 2020 to 2021 due to adverse conditions​, however the global peas market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.3% from 2023 to 2028. Key drivers include rising health consciousness, demand for plant-based protein, and versatile applications in food and animal feed​
