About Yellow split pea

Yellow split peas are dried yellow field peas that have been split into halves, usually with the seed coat removed. The small, hard pieces are starchy and mild in flavour; simmering softens them readily and can produce a thick, puréed texture.

They are commonly cooked in soups, stews, and purées. They are sold dry and may vary in size and processing, but are distinct from whole yellow peas and from fresh green peas. Their cooking time depends on age, storage, and preparation.
