About Pois cassé

Pois cassé is French for dried split peas: mature peas that have been dried and split, with the outer skin generally removed. They are commonly green or yellow, have a dry, hard appearance before cooking, and soften into a creamy texture with a mild, earthy legume flavour.

They are usually simmered in water or stock for soups, purées, and other cooked dishes. Green and yellow split peas differ somewhat in flavour and colour, and cooking time depends on age, soaking, and processing; the name does not specify which colour is intended.

Green and yellow split peas are not necessarily interchangeable in measured comparisons, and dry peas differ substantially by weight from cooked peas because of absorbed water. Added ingredients in prepared dishes also matter.
