Pea flakes Nestor VAT003406 – dried split pea flakes, bulk pack

Pea flakes Nestor are dried split pea flakes designed for culinary and food production use. Produced from peeled and split peas, these flakes rehydrate quickly and deliver the texture and protein content of peas in a convenient, ready-to-cook form. Supplied as a bulk food ingredient, they are suitable for industrial kitchens, catering and home cooking where a shelf-stable pea product is needed for soups, porridges, purees, sauces and vegetarian recipes.

Advantages

Pea flakes offer fast rehydration and consistent particle size that help reduce cooking time compared with whole dried peas. Their neutral legume flavor integrates smoothly into a range of savory preparations, and they act as an effective natural thickener for soups, stews and sauces. Packaged as a bulk ingredient, they simplify portioning and food production workflows while providing plant-based protein and fiber.

Suitable for

• Soups and broths
• Porridges and grain bowls
• Vegetarian and vegan patties, fillings and purees
• Thickening sauces, stews and gravies
• Industrial food production and bulk catering

Key specifications

• Form: dried split pea flakes
• Primary ingredient: peeled split peas
• Packaging style: bulk pack suitable for foodservice and production
• Texture after rehydration: soft, mashable flakes that blend into purees and soups
• Shelf-stability: long shelf life when stored dry and sealed

How to use

To rehydrate, add pea flakes to boiling water or stock and simmer until softened; cooking time is considerably shorter than for whole dried peas. For soups and stews, stir flakes directly into the simmering liquid and cook until they reach the desired consistency. For purees and spreads, cook flakes until very soft then blend with liquid and seasoning to obtain a smooth texture. Adjust liquid ratios depending on whether you want a thick or more fluid result.

Usage recommendations

Store pea flakes in a cool, dry place in an airtight container. When using in industrial or catering environments, keep product covered and protected from moisture to preserve flowability and prevent clumping. For best culinary results, experiment with hydration ratios: start with roughly 1 part pea flakes to 2–3 parts liquid by volume and adjust based on desired thickness.
