Organic Green Split Peas

Green Split Peas are produced by harvesting the peapods of peas when they are fully mature and then drying them. Once they are dried and the skins removed, they split naturally. Split peas belong to the bean and lentil family. Delicious, hearty dried peas are easy to make, requiring no presoaking and cooks in about 30 minutes, low in fat and high in protein, iron and dietary fiber. Green split peas are sweeter and less starchy than the milder yellow split peas. Split peas make great soup, curry, salads and even hummus
