PEA FLOUR

offers the nutritive value of the dried ripe pea in convenient form for easy preparation. As however it is easily adulterated, caution is advisable when purchasing. It is used in the preparation of pea soup, as a thickener of other soups or added to them in the form of small cakes or balls rendered cohesive by mixing with a little fat--and in many other ways. "Erbswurst," one of the staples of the German army and famous as a condensed food of high merit, is a mixture of pea flour, fat and condiments.
