Split peas are a staple in Egyptian kitchens, widely used in traditional dishes such as koshari, soups, and stews. As Egypt's population continues to grow and local production of pulses struggles to keep up with demand, the country increasingly turns to international suppliers for quality bulk legumes like split peas.

If you’re a food distributor, wholesaler, or importer in Egypt, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know to buy split peas in bulk—especially from Iran, a rising player in legume exports.

•    Competitive in price, especially compared to Canadian or Australian sources

•    Easily shipped via the Bandar Abbas port and Suez Canal
