Types of Canadian Green Peas
1. Yellow Split Peas
Yellow split peas are part of the legume family and are husked and split in half. They feature a mild flavor and a soft texture, making them versatile in various culinary applications. These peas are about 1/4 of an inch wide and have a pale yellow color. They have a rich history dating back to ancient times and were a vital ingredient in the diets of civilizations such as the Greeks and Romans.
2. Green Whole Peas
Green whole peas, also known as fresh green peas, are cultivated for their tender green seeds and pods. They are consumed cooked as a vegetable, canned, or frozen when ripe. Green whole peas provide an excellent source of fiber, important minerals, B-vitamins, protein, and isoflavones. The isoflavones in green peas have been linked to a reduced risk of certain health conditions, including breast and prostate cancer.
