Yellow Peas

Pisum sativum / Whole yellow peas / Yellow split peas

Whole yellow peas and yellow split peas are derived from spring sown field peas (pisum sativum). They are sown in March and normally harvested in July/August at around 15% moisture content. Yellow seeded peas are normally long, stiff strawed varieties and are the first to harvest.

There are many varieties to choose from although we prefer the larger smooth seeded round types, particularly for splitting.
