Yellow Split Peas

What are Yellow Split Peas?

Yellow split peas are created from dried field peas that have their skins removed and are split in half naturally. They are the most widely used variety of split peas, renowned for their versatility and quick cooking time.

Flavor and Texture

• Mild and Sweet: Yellow split peas have a subtle, slightly sweet flavor that makes them a perfect canvas for various spices and seasonings.
• Creamy Goodness: When cooked, yellow split peas break down beautifully, resulting in a soft, lush, and creamy texture. This makes them ideal for creating luxuriously thick soups, stews, and dals.

Culinary Favorites

• The Classic Split Pea Soup: Perhaps the most iconic way to enjoy yellow split peas is in a comforting bowl of split pea soup. This classic dish often includes ham or other smoked meats for a savory depth of flavor.
• The Flavorful World of Dals: In Indian cuisine, yellow split peas are the star of various dals. These richly spiced, creamy lentil dishes are staples, offering both nutrition and deliciousness.
• Beyond Tradition: Don’t limit yourself! Yellow split peas can find their way into dips, spreads, veggie burgers, and even some creative desserts.
