Frequently Asked Questions
Anyone tried making a pea-infused gin or vodka with these bulk whole green peas? How'd it turn out?
Yeah, I've done a pea-infused gin with these exact QUALITY Whole Green Peas. Rehydrate them first, then a quick blanch, and let them sit in the gin for about 24-48 hours. It gives a really fresh, slightly vegetal note that's killer in a Gimlet or a 'Garden Martini'. Just make sure to strain it well.
Best way to get a super smooth pea puree for cocktails from these whole peas without it separating?
The trick for a super smooth, stable puree from QUALITY Whole Green Peas is to blend them with a little bit of the cocktail's base spirit, like vodka, and a touch of simple syrup. The alcohol helps emulsify it, and the sugar adds body. Always pass it through a fine chinois after blending. It makes a huge difference.
Are these 4.99 kg bags of whole green peas worth it for a smaller bar, or is it too much volume?
For a smaller bar, 4.99 kg of QUALITY Whole Green Peas might seem like a lot, but they're shelf-stable. If you're serious about unique savory cocktails or bar snacks, it's a solid investment. You'll always have them on hand for menu development or specials, and they don't take up fridge space.
Any creative savory cocktail ideas using these QUALITY Whole Green Peas beyond just a pea puree?
Beyond puree, try roasting the QUALITY Whole Green Peas with some spices for a crunchy garnish or a bar snack. You could also make a pea 'milk' by blending and straining, then using that as a creamy base for a savory flip or fizz. Or even a pea-and-mint shrub.
How long do these bulk whole green peas last once opened, assuming proper storage in a bar setting?
Once you open the 4.99 kg bag of QUALITY Whole Green Peas, just make sure to seal it up tight in an airtight container. They're dried and shelf-stable, so they'll last for ages in a cool, dry spot. We've had bags open for months in our Calgary spot with no issues, just check the best-before date on the original packaging.
What's the rehydration time like for these whole green peas if I need them quickly for a busy shift?
If you need the QUALITY Whole Green Peas quickly, skip the overnight soak. Just simmer them in water for about 30-45 minutes until tender. They rehydrate faster than you'd think, especially if you're making a puree, you just need them soft enough to blend.
Are these QUALITY Whole Green Peas better than frozen peas for cocktail applications?
For cocktail applications, these QUALITY Whole Green Peas are often better than frozen. Once rehydrated, they have a firmer texture and a more concentrated, earthy flavor. Frozen peas can sometimes be too watery and lose their 'pop' when blended, making a less vibrant puree.
Any tips for making a non-alcoholic pea-based drink that isn't just a basic mocktail?
For a non-alcoholic drink with QUALITY Whole Green Peas, try a pea and cucumber shrub. Blend rehydrated peas with cucumber, vinegar, and a touch of sugar, then strain. Serve it with soda water and a sprig of mint. It's refreshing, savory, and totally unique for your mocktail menu.
How can I use these QUALITY Whole Green Peas in cocktails?
You can use QUALITY Whole Green Peas to create savory purees for cocktails, infuse spirits, or even make unique garnishes. Their earthy flavor and firm texture hold up well, making them versatile for innovative drink creations.
Are these whole green peas suitable for a vegan bar program?
Yes, QUALITY Whole Green Peas are a fantastic choice for a vegan bar program. They are a plant-based protein source, naturally loaded with fiber, and can be incorporated into various vegan cocktails and bar snacks.
