Frequently Asked Questions
Why do split peas get mushy?
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.
Are split peas the same as green peas?
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.
