My husband and I have found that Sprouts Grocery Store sells whole dried peas in bulk. These are different from split peas because they still have the outer casing and provide more nutrients. When cooked and eaten with whole grain, they create a full protein, much like corn and beans. Dried peas can also be sprouted. They have a shelf life of 8+ years. Definitely something to consider adding to your food storage!
To prepare and cook peas:
1. Soak peas overnight
2. Strain the peas and put them in a 3 quart sauce pan and add enough water to cover the peas entirely.
3. Cover and bring to boil. (Add salt if desired)
4. Simmer the peas for 30-40 minutes (according to your liking)
