Simple Green Pea Powder

Step 1

If you'd prefer, you can start the process by sprouting peas**, following the method here.

Step 2

Whether or not you have sprouted the peas, the next step is to dry them out. This can be done in an oven or dehydrator and are fairly similar in time.Place the peas on the dehydrator tray or oven tray in a single layer.

Step 3

Place in the oven at 60ºC/ 140ºF for 4-5 hours. ***

Step 4

You can then transfer the peas to a coffee or spice grinder and grind into a fine powder. I'll usually sieve the powder and re-grind any remaining larger bits. You can also try to use a powerful blender or food processor, but a spice grinder works best.

Step 5

The Yield: I started with around 1kg of fresh peas and ended up with 200g of pea powder, due to their high water content.

Step 6

Store the pea flour in an airtight container for 2-3 weeks in a cool, dark area or within the fridge. It is also freezer-friendly. I haven't tested the exact time but I would think 3 months, atleast.
