Substitutes for Dried Peas in gelato
Dried peas (Pisum sativum, mature seeds) are a high-protein, high-starch pulse with only about 11% moisture. In gelato they serve as a plant-based body and protein source or a flavour base, not as a sweetener, contributing solids, starch, protein and only a little sugar. If you're out of dried peas or need a different profile, these are the closest functional swaps — ranked by how similar they are on the balancing numbers, with the impact of each swap.
Swap ~1:1, then expect only minor balance shifts.
Swap ~1:1, then -68% solids — adjust to compensate.
Swap ~1:1, then -77% solids — adjust to compensate.
Swap ~1:1, then -89% solids — adjust to compensate.
Swap ~1:1, then softer (PAC +580), +11% solids — adjust to compensate.
