As self-proclaimed nerds, we love centrifuging things — sometimes simply because we’re lazy (or efficient!), and sometimes because it unlocks ingredients we didn’t even know we had. So we put one of the humblest ingredients to the test: the pea.
Centrifuging peas at 1500 g separated them into three distinct layers: pea water, pea fat, and pea starch — three phases that became the foundation of a trilogy of dishes:
🌱 a refreshing pea–mint lemonade
🫛 a tapioca cracker with pure pea butter
🥣 delicate pea dumplings made from pea starch, served in a smoky, bacony broth with pea petals
Three expressions of the same ingredient — each revealing a different facet of what the humble pea can become.
