Are split peas split manually?

Yes, that is why they are so extraordinarily expensive.


It takes several peons to do that labor.   And NOW that the wall is being built, well they have to have an extra task of throwing them over the wall one- by- one.  That takes a lot of time. 

You think that job is tough, try baking Alaska.  

not that i know of

In fact, the split pea and the green pea are one in the same. The split pea can be either a green pea or a yellow pea. Green split peas are identical to green peas. The difference lies in how they are processed. Both are the seeds of Pisum Sativum. To make a split pea, the green pea is peeled and dried. The skin is removed and a natural split occurs in the cotyledon. The split can be further exaggerated manually or mechanically. One can make split peas out of the green pea or the yellow pea. In any case, the peas are the same, and as noted, the difference is in the processing. This post was edited by tom jackson at July 6, 2017 1:40 PM MDT
