About Split Peas (Boiled)
Boiled split peas provide approximately 118 calories, 8.3 grams of protein, 21.1 grams of carbohydrate, 0.4 grams of fat, and 8.3 grams of fiber per 100 grams. Their fiber reduces net carbohydrate to about 12.8 grams and contributes to a low glycemic load.
Split peas provide copper, manganese, folate, thiamin, magnesium, zinc, phosphorus, potassium, and iron. Because the peas are split and their seed coat is removed, they soften and thicken soups more quickly than many whole legumes.
Use yellow or green split peas in soups, dhal, curries, purees, and vegetable stews. Nutrition is similar between common yellow and green varieties, although exact values can vary slightly.
