So the thing of it is, we know just how nutritious these little powerhouse split peas are. The humble green pea is packed with fiber, and powerful antioxidants, anti-inflammatory properties, and phytonutrients that support wellness and assist in lowering inflammation. That’s not all, though!

Sure, you can open a bag of frozen peas to use, (notice I didn’t mention canned) but it is really never the same. For one thing, dried split peas are super economical. Did you know that, if stored in the regular plastic bags that most dry split peas come from the grocery store in, the shelf life is only about 1 year? But, if properly stored in an airtight sealed container with oxygen absorbers, the shelf-life for dry split peas can extend to ten years or more.

Split green peas basically equate to improved health benefits and money in your pocket! Why not add our broccoli salad to your recipe book?
