Sicilian Split Peas Format: 400 g Soaking: 45'/60'. Sicilian split peas are legumes that are green in color and semi-spherical in shape. The high content of simple sugars and the absence of bitter principles found in other legumes give them a sweetish flavor. Sicilian split peas are energetic and nutritious legumes; in cooking, they are generally used for delicious soups and broths. Peas are very ancient legumes that date back about 5000 years. Italy is one of the main producers, and in our country they are among the most used and appreciated legumes even by children. Dry but with a sweet taste, Sicilian Split Peas are rich in properties. Digestive system: thanks to the very small concentrations of starch, peas are very easily digestible. The skin acts as a cleaner within the digestive system and helps the intestine function better. Diabetes: peas can stabilize blood sugar levels, providing benefits to those at risk of diabetes. However, if diabetes has already manifested, it is better not to consume them due to the high concentration of sugars, although they are simple sugars. Menopause-related disorders: peas contain phytoestrogens capable of soothing menopause symptoms. Bones: peas contain a lot of iron and phosphorus capable of fixing calcium and nourishing nerve cells. The Terravecchia family, producer of our Sicilian Split Peas, has been known in Sicily since the 1950s for various entrepreneurial activities, among which stands out that of producing chickpea flour, an essential ingredient of the famous palermitan ''panelle''. For thirty-five years now, in the new role of selectors, packagers, and distributors of dry legumes, it represents a reality in the Sicilian distribution landscape, proudly carried on by a new generation of women, supported by the experience of family members. From the idea of selecting and revitalizing the excellence of Sicilian agricultural production, which risked disappearing forever, was born the line ''sole e gusto di Sicilia'', a selection that gastronomically can represent this wonderful island in the world through its aromas, fragrances, and flavors.
