Iberia Yellow Split Peas

Iberia Yellow Split Peas bring authentic Latin flavor and wholesome nutrition to your kitchen, making them an essential pantry staple for traditional cooking enthusiasts and home chefs alike. These versatile legumes are carefully processed yellow peas that have been split in half, removing the outer skin to create a smooth, creamy texture when cooked. Known for their mild, earthy flavor and quick-cooking properties, yellow split peas are a cornerstone ingredient in Latin American, Caribbean, and Spanish cuisines. These nutritious legumes shine in hearty soups, stews, and traditional dishes like split pea soup, where they break down naturally to create a thick, satisfying consistency without requiring additional thickeners. In Latin cooking, yellow split peas are commonly used in Cuban potajes, Puerto Rican gandules guisados, and various Caribbean curry dishes. They pair beautifully with ham, bacon, vegetables, and aromatic spices like cumin, garlic, and sofrito. Unlike whole peas, split peas don't require soaking and typically cook in 45-60 minutes, making them perfect for weeknight meals. Iberia has been a trusted name in Latin foods for decades, providing authentic ingredients that help families maintain their culinary traditions. These yellow split peas work wonderfully as a protein-rich base for vegetarian meals or as a hearty side dish. Try them in traditional split pea soup with ham hocks, blend them into creamy purees, or incorporate them into thick stews that showcase their ability to absorb and complement bold Latin flavors while adding substantial texture and nutrition to any meal.
