Val Pea 1 kg
Val peas are legumes that are very popular in many African cuisines. Their tender texture, slightly sweet taste and nutritional richness make them an essential ingredient in West and Central African households. This 1 kg bag allows you to prepare several family meals, nutritious and tasty.
Rich in vegetable proteins, Val peas are an excellent alternative to meat in a balanced diet. They also contain fiber, iron, and magnesium. Thanks to these nutrients, they promote satiety, facilitate digestion and support the proper functioning of the immune system. This product is ideal for people who are looking to vary their protein intake without consuming animal products.
Before cooking, they should be soaked in water overnight. This soaking reduces cooking time and optimizes digestibility. Once rehydrated, the peas cook in 45 to 60 minutes. You can incorporate them into soups, thick sauces, purees, or porridges. They go very well with typical ingredients such as tomato, palm oil, chili pepper or smoked fish.
Looking for a vegetarian option? The peas of the Val lend themselves perfectly to this. Their dense texture allows you to create rich and hearty dishes, even without meat. They can also be used as a base for savoury patties or doughnuts.
To preserve their quality, store them in a dry, cool place away from light. An airtight container is recommended after opening the bag.
This product is a pantry staple for anyone who wants to bring the authentic flavors of African cuisine to their homes.
Other names: African peas, village beans, Cameroon dry peas, pea beans.
