About Marrowfat peas

Marrowfat peas are large, starchy pulses primarily grown in the United Kingdom, famed for their role in traditional British dishes like mushy peas. Unlike garden peas, marrowfat peas are left to mature and dry in their pods, giving them a creamy texture and robust flavor when cooked. They are a rich source of dietary fiber, protein, and essential vitamins such as vitamin B1 and folate, making them a filling and nutrient-dense choice. They're also low in fat, although their carbohydrate content is relatively higher due to their starchiness. Marrowfat peas support digestion and provide lasting energy, but they should be consumed in moderation by those monitoring carbohydrate intake. Easy to prepare and highly versatile, they are a staple in hearty meals, providing both nutrition and comforting flavors rooted deeply in British culinary heritage.
