Question:
Dave, or others who know, where do you find dried peas?
I have read several posts recommending dried peas for a protein rich snack. Where are they located in the stores? I have looked and never found them. They sound good to me, expecially if there is a crunch to them. Lyn Anders — SkinnyLynni2B (posted on July 8, 2008)

Lyn They have dried peas both unseasoned and wasabi-seasoned in Chinese
specialty stores (stores that sell CHinses foods only), they are in a
silver bag/pouch. The wasabi are bitey but the plain are good and mild.

Lyn, you can order them at www.dried-peas.com, they're $5 for a 1 lb bag.
I'm about to order some myself to try.

Costco has a large jar of soy nuts, "Dry Roasted Edamame" that
are really good, crunch and lightly salted.
1/4 cup is 14 g of protein.

the produce section at Wegmans. Good luck in your hunt! Ana Villa, RN

I look for them everywhere I go and can never find them either...I like to
look for them in my area first before I order online...but I'm outta places
to look...I had them before and loved them...The closest thing I found was
dried pea crisps from Trader Joes...But they were like a cheese doodle only
made from peas! They were REALLY good! (too many carbs, but I had to try
them at least once!) I think Dave has a place to get them online if worse
comes to worse! I gotta have some too! LOL

Farmers Markets have the best peas. Try whole food stores too. If no
luck, I can send you some!!

I bought dried peas from a local farmers market, there is a stand that has
candy, nuts, rice crackers, sesame sticks, etc,,,that have all of this
individually bagged, LUCKILY I only paid $1.35 per bag, because they are
really NASTY! But, I tried them, it didn't work out for me, I hope it works
for you, but it really isn't that wonderful of a protein source
anyway,,,figure there are 14 grams of protein & only 5 grams of fat in
1/2 cup of cottage cheese. That sounds better to me, than some nasty dried
peas, that have 5.7g sugar & 5.4g of protein per serving (more
sugar/carbs, than protein is not good).

Hi Lyn -
Go to Weis Supermarket on Valley Forge Road and Sumneytown Pike. Right
near the deli section they have dried Edamame. As mentioned in a previous
post here, they are chock full of protein, good for you and satisfy that
'crunch' factor. I eat 1/4 cup of them daily as my snack. I believe the
brand name is "Feng Shui".

Go to www.dried-peas.com - I can personally vouch for the fact that they
are delicious; really satisfies the crunch and light salty cravings.
Everyone I've had try them loves them. My support group leader calls them
the "new potato chip" - they really are GREAT. Enjoy!!
