Frozen Green Peas
IBIC Group’s Frozen Green Peas are IQF processed from Egyptian sweet garden peas (Pisum sativum) — harvested at the precise window of optimum sweetness when the peas’ natural sugar content is highest and before the sugars begin converting to starch, which reduces sweetness and increases toughness. Harvested during Egypt’s cool winter growing season (October–April), the peas are shelled, sorted by size, blanched to fix vivid green colour and deactivate enzymes, and IQF frozen at -35°C within hours of harvest.
Green peas are among the most nutritionally significant vegetables available in frozen format: 5.4g of plant protein per 80g serving (making them the highest-protein standard frozen vegetable), 21% DV Vitamin C, significant folate content (18% DV), dietary fibre, and iron. For food manufacturers developing plant-protein products, frozen peas represent a convenient, cost-effective, naturally positioned plant protein ingredient.

Frequently asked questions
Extra Fine peas (<7.5mm) are the premium grade — most tender, sweetest, and preferred for high-end ready meals, fine dining, gourmet retail, and applications where pea quality is a product differentiator. Fine grade (7.5–8.5mm) is the most common foodservice and retail grade — versatile for soups, mixed vegetables, rice dishes, and standard ready meals. Standard grade (8.5–10mm) is the most cost-effective — suited for bulk soup, Gumbo, minestrone, and applications where pea size is less critical. All grades are available from IBIC — specify size at order.
Yes. Frozen green peas provide 5.4g of plant protein per 80g serving — the highest protein content of any standard frozen vegetable. Pea protein has a favourable amino acid profile relative to most plant proteins (higher in lysine than grain proteins), and peas are naturally gluten-free. For food manufacturers developing plant-forward, high-protein, or flexitarian products, frozen green peas provide a cost-effective, naturally positioned protein boost alongside dietary fibre, Vitamin C, folate, and iron.
