Peas appears on the labels of 101 of the 244 recipes we have read and scored (41 percent of the database), in label forms including Peas, Dried Peas, Green Peas, PEAS, peas, whole peas.
Whole peas: starch, fibre and roughly a quarter protein by weight, the workhorse legume of grain free recipes.
They bind grain free kibble in place of grain and carry part of its protein figure with them.
Read pea lines as a family. Whole peas, pea protein, pea starch and pea fibre on one panel are one ingredient split four ways, and together they would rank far higher than any single line.
