Pulses

Yellow Split Peas

Yellow split peas are whole yellow peas dehulled and split into halves, contracted for dal milling, soup and snack manufacture and retail packing.

The commercial parameters are the percentage of clean whole halves, colour consistency and freedom from fines. Buyers in South Asian milling and repacking demand judge them alongside other split pulses.
