Available in both green and brown varieties, these peas contribute a rich, nutty flavor to rice and peas, soups, stews, and curries. Packed with protein, fiber, and essential vitamins and minerals, Gungo Peas not only enhance the taste and texture of meals but also offer valuable nutritional benefits.
