Freeze Dried Marrowfat Peas

Dried Marrowfat Peas are a highly nutritious natural food supplement for a wide range of invertebrates. They provide an excellent source of plant protein, fibre, vitamins, minerals, and slow-release carbohydrates. As a result, they help support healthy growth, moulting, breeding, and long-term colony health.

Unlike many standard dried peas, growers leave marrowfat peas on the plant until they fully mature. This longer growing period allows the peas to build up more nutrients before harvest. Therefore, they offer greater nutritional value than many other dried peas.

Whether you feed them whole or broken into smaller pieces, Dried Marrowfat Peas make an excellent addition to a varied feeding programme.

Natural Origin

Growers harvest marrowfat peas (Pisum sativum) only after they reach full maturity. They then dry the peas naturally to preserve their nutritional value.

Because the peas remain on the plant for longer, they develop higher levels of protein, fibre, vitamins, and minerals than many standard garden peas. Consequently, they have become a popular food source for both animals and people.

Preparation

Soak the peas in clean water until they become fully rehydrated before feeding. Once soft, offer them whole or break them into smaller pieces for smaller species.

Preparing the peas in this way allows many different invertebrates to feed easily while reducing waste inside the enclosure.

Usage Information

Suitable For: Isopods, millipedes, cockroaches, snails, beetles, crabs, and other detritivorous invertebrates
Material: 100% Dried Marrowfat Peas
Longevity: Long-lasting dry food supplement

Offer small portions and replace food as required. Remove any leftovers if mould begins to develop.

Many keepers feed marrowfat peas alongside bee pollen, spirulina, insect granules, fish flakes, leaf litter, and rotten wood. This helps create a balanced and varied diet.

Benefits

They provide a concentrated source of natural nutrition. They help support healthy growth, successful moulting, breeding, and colony development.

Their nutrient-rich composition makes them particularly useful for growing colonies and breeding projects. Furthermore, many species readily accept them once softened.

Compared with many other dried peas, marrowfat peas contain greater nutritional reserves. Therefore, they provide more nutrition in every serving while helping to increase dietary variety.
