SGP-10, SGP-5

Description:

Green Split Peas are part of the legume family and with variations, a part of the cuisine of many cultures. Popular throughout history for being inexpensive and plentiful, they were a hearty staple that would store well during the winter months. Split Green Peas are husked and split in half. The Green Split Pea has a mild flavor and soft texture and is about 1/4 of an inch wide and soft green in color. The Split Pea has more of an earthy flavor than the whole dried pea, similar to the lentil in flexibility and nourishment.

Ingredient Statement:

Green Peas.

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.
