Split Peas

Split peas are the dried peeled and split seeds of Pisum sativum. They come in yellow and green varieties. They have been mechanically split so that they will cook faster. Yellow split peas are sometimes wrongly referred to as a synonym for the Indian toor dal (split pigeon peas) or chana dal (split yellow gram, chickpeas or garbanzo beans); while all commonly known as peas the latter are from other legume species. Split peas are a great source of protein. Green and yellow split peas are commonly used to make pea soup, and sometimes pease pudding. Yellow split peas are used to make a sweet snack in Beijing cuisine. Wandouhuang is a sweetened and chilled pease pudding, sometimes flavoured with osmanthus blossoms and dates. A refined version of this snack is said to be a favorite of Empress Dowager Cixi.
