Have purchased this product previously and seems to have a high percentage of sprout rate. No complaints or issues.

The peas do take longer to sprout than say radish seeds. But I had no issues getting them to sprout and great not spicy flavor.

High germination rates! Over 95%, easily. Flavor of the pea greens was fantastic. Will buy again.

These taste great as microgreens in soups and stir fries. Green pea microgreens grew more tendrils than speckled peas so the plants clung together (a bit annoying during harvest).We harvest pea microgreens 9-12 days after soaking the dry seeds. We grow these indoors in 8.5x11 sprouting trays without any medium (no dirt!). The peas sit directly on the BPA-free plastic mesh.First, we wash and soak these overnight in 6.0-6.4 pH water (tap water + citric acid).For the first 3-4 days, we kept them in the dark and moist by spraying with pH 6.2 water. A 5-pound weight was kept on the peas (for each 8.5x11 sprouting tray) during this blackout period.For the next 5-8 days, we put the trays in sunlight (grow light) and bottom water using a pH 6.0 nutrient solution.Horticulture experts recommended 50-100 ppm of nitrogen and 90-110 ppm of epsom salt for hydroponic microgreens (initial few weeks after sprouting). We followed that advice and it works great.These peas thrived with a nutrient solution with 6-6.5 pH and 900-1100 ppm total dissolved solids, made of:140 ppm water (my tap water is 9.5 pH and 135-145 ppm)800 ppm of MaxiGro 10-5-12 (about 1 tsp per gallon) -- which made 9.5 pH water go to 6.0 pH60 ppm of Epsom Salt (since MaxiGro provides about 40 ppm per 800 ppm, we reach 100 ppm)MaxiGro 10-5-12 is 10% nitrogen, so 800 ppm provides 80 ppm of nitrogen. I chose MaxiGro because it provides 9 out of the top 12 nutrients used by plants. And its NPK ratio works great for microgreens.We start with a mild nutrient solution on the first day of bottom watering and gradually increase the ppm as the plants grow (always within recommended ppm). TDS meters cost 14 bucks and make all of this very easy.

I made my normal pea soup where I soaked the peas overnight and then cook them in chicken broth with carrots and onions and pieces of ham and after cooking 4 hours they were still crunchy. I wonder how long I have to really cook them until they are thoroughly tender.

Excited to find these because most grocers only carry the split pea variety. Soaked these overnight and even after 3 1/2 hours of cooking, they were still very firm. Not "tooth-breaking" firm but chew until your jaw hurts firm. I didn't soak in salted water so I can only assume I received an old batch. Disappointing.I updated my review to reflect the customer service team for this product reaching out to me immediately to remedy my past order. They did not ask me to do this but I give kudos where they are due. I should have reached out to them before I jumped the gun and posted a negative review. Food to Live is a company I can respect.

I didn’t realize when I bought these that I had to soak them for 24 hours before using… I planned on using them in my shelf stable ramen and they stayed hard as a rock.

I was trying to buy freeze dried peas for my bearded dragon. These are just dried and super hard and he can’t eat it. I would normally just send it back but Amazon will not do a return for these. No reason why they just won’t. So I wasted almost $15 and two pounds of peas that are literally going to go in the trash as I don’t know a single person that wants dried peas….

I purchased these green peas to make sprouts in my Vogel sprouting jar for salads and meals. I have been trying to make my meals more plant-based with veggies at every meal. I like fresh peas, so I thought sprouted peas would be a great option. These sprout wonderfully and are flavourful (if you enjoy peas and legumes) . I soak for 24 hours and then just rinse them twice a day in the sprouter. You can eat them within a couple days or wait a few days if you want more sprout. Tastes great on their own or added to other meals. I may cook some of the peas but generally just bought these for sprouting which is supposed to decrease the lectins and add more nutritional enzymes. Great value for the amount of food I will get from this big bag.

All the peas sprouted, tasted so good :)

I have searched high and low in my city for dried whole green peas, but to no avail.I thought all was lost. But, like the proverbial Calvary to the rescue, Amazon saved the day.After many years of wandering in the empty desert of no pea soup, harmony has been restored to our humble abode.18 cups of water, 2 kilo fatty pork roast, soupçon of salt and the best dried green peas money can buy, makes the best battalion size pea soup batch, one could have the pleasure of eating it.The peas were of superlative quality and I will buy them again.I wholeheartedly recommend them!

Fresh

Bought it for kosher meals and for planting the peas. The taste is very good. And it's sprouted in 4 days. Great to have pea sprouts in the kitchen.
