Dried Peas Global Market Report 2026

Dried peas, preserved through dehydration, concentrate flavor and extend shelf life. They find use in various food preparations, including pasta, cereals, and soups.

Dried peas are primarily categorized into yellow peas and green peas. Yellow peas, with a round shape and mild flavor, serve as a good source of cholesterol-lowering fiber. Green peas, also round but with a nuttier flavor, are typically dried and cut in half before being sold. Both varieties come in conventional and organic options, catering to diverse sectors such as household and retail, food service or HoReCa, animal feed, pharmaceuticals and supplements, cosmetics and personal care, and food and beverage processing.
