Peas, split, dried, raw

Split peas are dried pea seeds that have had their seed coat removed and been split. The figures here describe them in their raw, dried form, before cooking. Per 100g, they provide 58g of carbohydrate, 22g of protein, 2.4g of fat and 5.4mg of iron. Carbohydrate is their main source of energy, and they also provide minerals including magnesium and potassium.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues, while iron is needed to make haemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. Dried split peas absorb water during cooking, so cooked peas have different nutrient amounts by weight. Added salt can also change the salt content of the finished dish. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
