Product Description
Split Green Peas
Split green peas are dried green peas that have been split in half. They cook faster than whole dried peas and melt into a soft, thick texture. They are the classic choice for pea soup and for a simple, creamy dal, and are sometimes sold as green matar dal.
Split green peas taste mild, earthy and slightly sweet. They have a fresh, grassy note that is a little different from yellow split peas.
How Split Green Peas Cook
Split green peas break down as they simmer, so they thicken whatever they are cooked in. After about 30 to 45 minutes of gentle simmering, most of them collapse into a rough purée. The exact time depends on the pan and how old the peas are.
This makes them a good pick for soups, mashes and thick dals. They are not the right choice for salads or dishes where you want the peas to stay whole. For that, use whole dried peas instead.
Ways to Use Split Green Peas
Split green peas suit many everyday dishes, from British comfort food to South Asian and Caribbean cooking.
- Split pea and ham soup
- Pease pudding to serve with gammon
- Matar dal with a garlic and cumin tarka
- Thick vegetable and pea stew
- Jamaican-style pea soup with root vegetables and dumplings
- Spiced pea patties or fritters, using the cooked peas mashed
Tips for Cooking Split Green Peas
Rinse split green peas in cold water until it runs mostly clear. This removes dust and starch from the surface.
Soaking is optional. A few hours in water shortens the cooking time and gives a smoother result. If you skip it, just allow more time on the hob.
Skim off any foam that rises in the first few minutes. Stir now and then, because the peas settle and can catch on the bottom of the pan as they thicken.
Split Green Peas FAQ
Do split green peas need soaking?
No, split green peas do not need soaking. Soaking for a few hours makes them cook a little faster, but unsoaked peas still soften in about 30 to 45 minutes.
What is the difference between green and yellow split peas?
Green split peas taste slightly sweeter and fresher, while yellow split peas taste a little more earthy. Both break down when cooked, so you can often swap one for the other in soups and dals.
Will split green peas hold their shape?
No, split green peas soften and fall apart as they cook. This is what gives soups and dals their thick, creamy body.
Add split green peas to your basket for the next pot of pea soup or dal.

We take great care when preparing and securely packing every order; however, during transportation, parcels may be handled by several parties, including the courier, and despite our best efforts, minor cosmetic damage such as dents, marks, scuffs or damage to external packaging may occasionally occur. Minor cosmetic damage that does not affect the product’s safety, quality or intended use will not normally be considered a product defect. This is particularly applicable to products supplied in cans, tins, plastic containers, boxes or similar packaging.

Where damage appears to have occurred during delivery, we may need to raise a claim with the courier, and you may be required to complete and return any Damage on Receipt (DOR) form or other documentation requested by the courier before the claim can be processed. Some products we sell are price-marked or display a manufacturer’s recommended or printed retail price. Please note that our online selling prices may differ from the price printed on the product because online orders involve additional costs such as picking, packing, packaging materials, warehouse handling, payment processing, website administration and delivery-related costs. You may therefore receive a product displaying a printed or recommended retail price that is lower than the price you paid online. The price you agree to pay is the online selling price displayed on our website at the time you place your order, and the presence of a lower printed or recommended retail price on the packaging does not, by itself, mean that the online purchase price was incorrect.

Such variations do not necessarily indicate that the product supplied is different from the product ordered, provided that the product itself corresponds to the description and specifications stated on the website.
