Description
Rice is a staple food for much of the world’s population, grown in over 100 countries. More than 40,000 different varieties of rice exist, including Himalayen Style Red Rice and Long Grain Brown Rice.
Green Split Peas, or "Pisum sativum," are part of the legume family. A pea is a small, round seed that grows in a pod. They are an annual, cool-season crop grown in many parts of the world. Although technically a fruit, the pea is considered a vegetable in the culinary world.
Dried peas are part of a family of legumes collectively known as pulses, which also includes lentils and sometimes chickpeas.
The lentil is one of the oldest cultivated legumes, mentioned throughout the Hebrew Bible, and lentils and other legumes are often paired with grains or rice to provide a complete protein.
