Do Dried Split Peas Need To Be Soaked?
Dried split peas do not necessarily need to be soaked before cooking, but soaking can help to reduce the cooking time and make the peas more digestible. If you choose to soak, it is recommended to soak the peas in water for at least 4 hours or overnight before cooking. However, if you are short on time, you can cook the peas without soaking, but the cooking time will be longer.
