Gungo Peas (Pigeon Peas) (12 x 2kg)

Gungo peas, also sold as pigeon peas, are small, round dried pulses with a nutty, earthy flavour. They are supplied in a bulk box for restaurants, takeaways, caterers and food manufacturers across the UK. The whole peas stay firm through long, slow cooking, which makes them dependable for rice dishes, soups and stews in a commercial kitchen. Buying wholesale keeps a staple pulse in stock for batch cooking.

Key Features of Wholesale Gungo Peas

• Bulk & Wholesale Supply: A bulk box suits restaurants, takeaways, caterers and re-packers who use gungo peas every week and want steady stock on the shelf.
• Wholesale Trade Pricing: Buying in bulk at a trade price lowers the cost per portion on high-volume dishes and makes menu costing easier to plan.
• Whole, Firm Texture: The peas soften but keep their shape, unlike split toor dal, which breaks down into a smooth dal. This gives rice dishes and stews a distinct bite.
• Nutty, Earthy Flavour: Gungo peas take up coconut milk, thyme, allspice, scotch bonnet and curry spices well, so one ingredient works across several menus.
• Soak Before Cooking: Dried peas cook more evenly after an overnight soak. Build this into your prep schedule and taste a few before taking the pot off the heat.
• Storage & Handling for Bulk Packs: Keep in a cool, dry place, ideally in an airtight container, away from strong odours. Reseal the bulk box after each use.
