SPLIT PEA YELLOW – Versatile Yellow Split Peas for Dal, Soups & Curries

Yellow Split Peas are dried field peas that have been hulled and split, creating small golden-yellow halves that cook down into a soft, thick and creamy consistency. Their mild, earthy flavour makes them a versatile pantry staple for hearty soups, dals, curries, stews and purées. Split peas also cook more quickly than whole dried peas and generally do not require soaking.

Popular across a wide range of cuisines, yellow split peas are especially well suited to Indian-style dal, where they can be simmered with spices until tender. They are also widely used in split pea soup, Caribbean and Indo-Caribbean dal preparations, Middle Eastern dishes and European-style soups. Their ability to break down during cooking makes them particularly useful when a thick, satisfying texture is desired.
