These organic green split peas have a slightly sweeter, stronger flavour compared to yellow split peas, which tend to be milder and a bit more neutral in taste. The green variety also holds its shape slightly better when cooked, making it a good choice for soups and salads where a bit of texture is needed. Nutritionally, both are packed with plant based protein, fibre, and essential vitamins, but green split peas typically contain slightly more folate and vitamin K, while yellow split peas may have a marginally higher starch content, making them a bit creamier when cooked.
 
They’re perfect for classic pea soup, especially with smoked meats like our pasture raised bacon. Try them as a side dish, cooked until tender and mixed with garlic, herbs, and olive oil, or use them in a spiced stew with lamb for a warming meal on a winter day. They can also be blended into dips, offering a heartier alternative to hummus.
