About Yellow peas

Yellow peas, also known as split peas, are a type of legume widely used in global cuisines, particularly in Indian, European, and Middle Eastern dishes. They are rich in protein, dietary fiber, and essential minerals like iron, potassium, and magnesium, making them a nutritious addition to vegetarian and plant-based diets. Yellow peas are also low in fat and contain complex carbohydrates that promote sustained energy. Originating from dried field peas, they are often split and polished, making them easy to cook and digest. They are commonly used in soups like split pea soup, stews, and traditional dishes like Indian dals. Despite their numerous health benefits, they should be consumed in moderation by individuals sensitive to legume compounds, as they may cause digestive discomfort for some. Versatile and nutrient-dense, yellow peas are an excellent choice for healthy eating and balanced meals.
