How Do They Split Dried Peas?
Dried peas are split using a process called milling. First, the peas are cleaned and sorted to remove any debris. Then, they are softened by soaking them in water for a few hours. After that, the softened peas are passed through a milling machine that splits them in half, creating two pieces called “split peas”. These split peas are then further dried and packaged for sale.
