Yellow split peas (uncooked)

Yellow split peas are dried peas that have had their skins removed and been split in half, cooking down into a soft, thick consistency well suited to soups and purées. They have a mild, slightly sweet, earthy flavour and require no pre-soaking, though they benefit from a longer simmer than lentils. Their tendency to break down fully when cooked distinguishes them from firmer whole peas.

Measured before cooking, while the ingredient hasn't yet absorbed water or changed texture.
