Dry Peas
Yellow and green field peas — whole or split, for food, feed and fractionation. Dry peas are the volume backbone of the pulse trade. Yellow peas dominate because they feed three different demand streams: direct human consumption, compound animal feed, and the fractionation plants that split the seed into protein, starch and fibre. Green peas are a smaller, more appearance-driven market where colour bleaching in storage is a real commercial risk.

Technical & procurement detail
What this product is and what decides quality+
Dry peas are the volume backbone of the pulse trade. Yellow peas dominate because they feed three different demand streams: direct human consumption, compound animal feed, and the fractionation plants that split the seed into protein, starch and fibre. Green peas are a smaller, more appearance-driven market where colour bleaching in storage is a real commercial risk. Grade selection matters more than most first-time buyers expect. A food-grade specification controls colour, splits, defects and foreign material tightly; a feed-grade specification is far more tolerant on appearance but still needs a protein basis and a mycotoxin position. Buying food grade for a feed application is a straightforward waste of money, and buying feed grade for a food line will fail at your first customer audit. If your process splits or mills the peas, the useful specification is not the visual grade — it is moisture, seed size uniformity and hardness, because those three drive dehulling yield.
Types, classes and grades+
Yellow peas — whole: The main traded class; food, feed and fractionation use. Yellow peas — split: Dehulled and split for dal, soups and instant products. Green peas — whole: Appearance-sensitive; colour retention is the commercial risk. Green peas — split: Split pea soup and dry-mix applications. Feed peas: Wider defect tolerance; bought on protein and energy value.
Specification basis+
Purity — Typically 99 %+ for food grade; wider tolerance for feed grade. Moisture — Normally 13–14 % maximum at loading. Protein — Commonly quoted around 20–26 % on a dry basis; confirmed per lot. Defects — Splits, bleached seed and foreign material specified per contract. Processing — Cleaned and gravity separated; colour sorted for food grade. Values vary by grade, crop year and supplier and are confirmed against supplier documentation at quotation.
Supply and origin context+
Canada is among the largest producers and exporters of field peas globally, again centred on Saskatchewan and Alberta. Domestic pulse fractionation capacity has grown substantially, which means yellow peas leave the country both as raw seed and as protein, starch and fibre fractions. For an overseas buyer this creates a genuine choice: import the seed and process it locally, or import the finished fraction. The right answer depends on your local processing cost and on the duty treatment of raw versus processed pulse products in your market. Origin, availability, grade and certification are confirmed at quotation for the lot actually offered — origin is a supply attribute, never an assumed property of the product.
Commercial and shipping notes+
Feed and food grades are contracted separately and should never be blended in one booking. · Fractionation buyers should state target dehulling yield expectations up front so seed size can be matched. · Quoted FOB, CFR or CIF; bulk vessel parcels considered on volume.
Documentation+
Commonly relevant documentation: Certificate of Analysis · Phytosanitary Certificate · Certificate of Origin · Non-GMO declaration where applicable · Independent survey certificate on request. Availability is confirmed per order and per destination.
Frequently asked questions
What should the first enquiry for dry peas include?+
State the quantity, the destination, the presentation you need and the parameters you buy on — purity, moisture, protein, defects, processing. With those in the enquiry we can return a quotation instead of a list of questions.
Which types or grades of dry peas are available?+
Yellow peas — whole, Yellow peas — split, Green peas — whole, Green peas — split, Feed peas. All of these are grades of the same product rather than separate products; the grade is fixed at quotation.
What packaging options are available?+
25 kg and 50 kg woven polypropylene bags · 1,000 kg bulk bags · Bulk in lined containers or vessel parcels. Packaging is confirmed at quotation, because it affects both protection in transit and freight cost.
Where does the material originate?+
Origin, availability, grade and certification are confirmed at quotation for the lot actually offered — origin is a supply attribute, never an assumed property of the product.
