Pulses

Whole Green Peas

Whole green peas are the unsplit, dried seed of Pisum sativum, contracted for canning, retail packing, soup manufacture and onward splitting.

Whole green peas are dried, cleaned and graded to a contracted size, with colour the parameter buyers judge most closely — a lot that has faded or bleached in store is discounted regardless of how it measures on purity.

Quality and trade

Quality and export documentation

What decides quality in whole green peas

Colour
Judged against an approved sample. Bleached and faded seed is the most common cause of rejection.
Size uniformity
Governs swell in canning and recovery in splitting.
Moisture
Set deliberately for transit time and discharge humidity rather than copied from a previous contract.

Third-party inspection can be nominated at the loading point — sampling, analysis, weight verification and loading supervision. Quality and processing in full.

Typical export documents

  • Commercial Invoice
  • Packing List
  • Bill of Lading
  • Certificate of Origin
  • Phytosanitary Certificate
  • Fumigation Certificate
  • Weight Certificate

Final documentation depends on the commodity, origin, destination and buyer requirements. Not every document listed is required on every shipment.

Frequently asked questions

No. They are separate products with separate buyers. The split is produced from the whole pea, so a lot suitable for splitting is specified on size uniformity, while a canning lot is specified on colour and swell.
