What are split peas?

Split peas come from dried green peas, a legume from the butterfly flower family. During processing, the outer shell and germ are removed, causing the pea to split into two equal parts. Hence the name "split peas."

Split peas have a mild, slightly sweet taste and become wonderfully soft after cooking. They are ideal for preparing traditional pea soup or hearty purees.

Preparation

Split peas generally do not need to be soaked, but if you do, they will cook faster. Unsoaked split peas take about twice as long to cook. If you still want to soak the peas, follow the steps below:

• Rinse peas thoroughly with cold water
• Place in a pot with plenty of cold water (about one and a half to two liters per kilo of peas)
• Soak peas for about twelve hours
• Drain and then incorporate into your dish

After cooking, split peas have an earthy taste and turn into a hearty puree. For the most delicious homemade pea soup, you can combine a bag of split peas with a bag of whole peas.

Storage

Dried split peas have a long shelf life. Store in a well-sealed glass jar or bag in a cool, dry, and dark place. They will remain good for up to a year and retain their quality and taste.
