About Yellow peas

Yellow peas are the yellow-seeded form of field peas, most often sold dried as a pulse. The seeds are round to slightly angular, with a firm, starchy texture before cooking and a mild, earthy flavour after softening.

They are simmered for soups, purées, and other cooked preparations. Retail forms include whole peas and split peas; whether the seed coat remains and the amount of processing affect cooking behaviour, so the term does not specify one particular form.
