FAQs

Are yellow split lentils the same as yellow split peas?
No — yellow split lentils are hulled lentils, while yellow split peas are a different legume (Pisum sativum). Both are yellow, split, and quick-cooking, but yellow split peas have a slightly sweeter, more starchy flavour and are used in different traditional dishes.

Do these need soaking?
No — already split and hulled, cook in 20–25 minutes from dry.
