Organic Green Split Peas

Green Split Peas are one of the most common type of lentils. 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. 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 Green Split Pea has more of an earthy flavor than the whole dried pea, similar to the lentil in flexibility and nourishment.
