Split peas are dried peas that have been split in half, removing the outer skin. They cook down to a creamy consistency, making them perfect for thick soups. No soaking needed and very economical.
Split peas have their outer skin removed and naturally break down into a creamy puree when cooked. This is desirable for soup. For firmer peas, reduce cooking time and add acidic ingredients at the end.
Split peas are dried and split versions of field peas (different variety than sweet garden peas). They're starchier, cook to mush, and have a different flavor than frozen green peas.
Store dried split peas in an airtight container for up to 1 year. They don't require soaking. Cooked split peas keep 4-5 days refrigerated or 3 months frozen (soup may thicken when frozen).
