About Dried split pea
Dried split peas are mature dried peas that have been split, commonly with the outer skin removed. They are typically green or yellow, hard and flat-sided when dry; when cooked, they soften readily into a thick, creamy texture with a mild, earthy flavour.
They are used in soups, purées and other cooked dishes, usually after rinsing and simmering. Green and yellow split peas differ in colour and can differ somewhat in flavour. They are a processed form of pea and should not be generalized to whole dried peas, which cook and hold their shape differently.
