What are White Peas?

White peas (Pisum sativum) are small, round, light-colored legumes harvested from mature pea plants. Unlike fresh green peas, white peas are typically dried before use, giving them a firmer texture and subtle, nutty taste. They are popular in traditional European, South Asian, and North American cooking, especially in hearty stews, casseroles, and spice-forward curries. They have a similar starch profile to marrowfat peas and can be processed into flour like cowpeas or yellow peas.

In industrial food production, white peas are increasingly used in protein-enriched snacks, thickening agents, and gluten-free flour applications.

Types, Varieties & Forms of White Peas

White peas are available in multiple forms to suit a range of applications:

• Whole dried white peas
• Split white peas (quicker cooking time)
• White pea flour (milled, used in baking, batters, and sauces)

Split and flour formats are commonly used in instant meals, processed snacks, and baked goods, while whole peas are ideal for soups and canned goods. Buyers can source white peas based on desired cooking time, texture, or finished product requirements.

Harvest Season of White Peas

White peas are typically planted in spring and harvested from late summer to early autumn. After harvest, they are dried and processed to ensure year-round availability. Their shelf-stable nature and long storage life make them a dependable option for both seasonal and continuous production cycles.

‍

Producing Countries

Key producers of white peas include Canada, the United States, and several European countries. These regions provide favorable climates for consistent yields and maintain advanced post-harvest infrastructure to meet international quality and safety standards.

White peas are primarily traded as dry peas. Canada and Russia are leading exporters, with India and China being significant importers. The market is influenced by regional preferences for food products and the availability of alternative legumes like lentils and chickpeas​.
