Sea Island Red Peas 1.5 lb

Sea Island Red Peas have a flavor profile that’s rich, earthy, and deeply savory, with a subtle nutty sweetness. When cooked, their texture is tender but slightly firm, offering a pleasant bite that holds up well in stews, soups, and rice dishes. The flavor is often described as robust and hearty, carrying hints of smokiness and a mild, natural sweetness that complements spices without being overpowering. Compared to standard red beans, Sea Island Red Peas have a more pronounced, almost buttery depth, with an earthy undertone that evokes traditional Southern and Caribbean cooking. They pair beautifully with aromatics like onions, garlic, thyme, and smoked meats, absorbing flavors while maintaining their own distinctive, slightly earthy character. The overall taste experience is comforting, full-bodied, and rich in umami, making them a versatile choice for both simple and complex dishes
