What is Yellow Split Peas?
Yellow peas are often used from their dried form. However, they start out growing on vines. The peas are encased in a pod and these peas are harvested and dried. The pea is small and round and for food use is split in half so that one side is dome-shaped and the underside is flat. Yellow split peas are very common in Indian cuisine and can be found across the world. They taste mild and nutty. When cooked they have a soft texture with a touch of starch.
