About Split pea

Split peas are dried, peeled, and split seeds of the Pisum sativum plant, commonly used in soups, stews, and purées. With origins in Middle Eastern, Indian, and European cuisines, they are a staple in dishes like pea soup and dal, prized for their earthy flavor and creamy texture when cooked. Nutritionally dense, split peas are rich in protein, dietary fiber, iron, potassium, and B vitamins, particularly folate. They are low in fat and cholesterol-free, making them a heart-healthy choice. The high fiber in split peas aids digestion and supports blood sugar stability, while their plant-based protein benefits muscle repair and overall growth. However, they do contain purines, which may not be ideal for individuals prone to gout. Easy to prepare and versatile, split peas offer a wholesome, satisfying food option that supports a healthy and balanced diet.
