Split Peas impart an earthy flavor and are most commonly used in thick soups and stews. The peas break apart when cooking, thickening the texture of the soup. Split Peas adds a colorful and tasty flare to dips, spreads, baked casseroles and stuffing.
Recommended Preparation Instructions:
Green Split Peas should not be soaked before cooking. Cook in boiling water for 45-60 minutes. The longer this legume cooks, the more it will break down and cause soups to thicken.
