What Are Marrowfat Peas?

Marrowfat peas are mature green peas that are left to dry naturally before harvesting. Larger than standard garden peas, they have a distinctive mild flavour and become soft and creamy when cooked.

They are best known as the traditional ingredient used to make mushy peas, a classic accompaniment to fish and chips, but are also widely used in soups, casseroles and other hearty dishes.

Their excellent texture and versatility make them a popular choice across food manufacturing and foodservice.

UK Grown and Processed

Our marrowfat peas are grown and processed in the UK, ensuring consistent quality and traceability throughout the supply chain.

Carefully selected crops are cleaned and prepared to meet the standards required by manufacturers, wholesalers and catering businesses seeking reliable year-round availability.

Sourcing UK-grown peas also helps support local agriculture while reducing food miles compared with imported alternatives.

Applications for Marrowfat Peas

Marrowfat peas are widely used throughout the food industry in both traditional and modern recipes.

Popular applications include:

  • Traditional mushy peas
  • Fish and chip shops
  • Soups
  • Casseroles
  • Ready meals
  • Traditional British dishes
  • Foodservice and catering menus
  • Retail dried pea packs

Their naturally creamy texture after cooking makes them particularly well suited to comfort foods and classic British recipes.

Preparation and Cooking

Dried marrowfat peas should be soaked before cooking to allow them to fully rehydrate.

For traditional mushy peas, the soaked peas are typically cooked with bicarbonate of soda, which softens the peas and creates the smooth, creamy texture associated with this classic British dish.

They can also be cooked without bicarbonate when a firmer texture is preferred for soups, stews and casseroles.

Benefits of Marrowfat Peas

Marrowfat peas are valued for both their versatility and nutritional profile.

  • Naturally high in plant protein
  • Excellent source of dietary fibre
  • Low in fat

  • Ideal for traditional British cuisine
