Split Peas

Split Peas

EverydayDry

Split peas are dried, hulled legumes made from field peas that have been mechanically split to reduce cooking time. These protein- and fiber-rich peas cook into a creamy texture without requiring presoaking, distinguishing them from many other dried beans. Their mild flavor and ability to thicken dishes make them a staple in soups and stews, while their low glycemic index and plant-based nutrition support balanced diets.
