marsh hen mill / sea island red peas 1.5lb (sc)

Prized for their rich heritage and deeply savory profile, these heirloom Sea Island Red Peas from Marsh Hen Mill bring an authentic taste of Lowcountry tradition to your table. Located on a sea island in South Carolina, the mill partners with local farmers to preserve historic, exceptional grains and legumes. These tiny, dense peas pack a robust, hearty punch with subtle notes of nuttiness and a mild, smoky sweetness. They hold their shape beautifully during long cooking times, absorbing surrounding flavors while adding a distinct, almost buttery depth to classic stews, soups, and traditional rice dishes.
