Whole Yellow Peas

Whole yellow peas are the unsplit dried seed of Pisum sativum, contracted for splitting, pea flour and protein processing, and retail packing.

Yellow peas move in larger volumes than green in most markets because they feed both food and processing demand — splitting, flour milling and protein extraction — as well as retail.
