What to know about yellow split peas

Yellow split peas are a legume, not a lentil, despite looking the part: they are mature field peas that have been hulled and split, and they are the base of split pea soup and many dal recipes. Their trigger story is the same fermentable one that dogs most pulses: they grade very high in galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) and high in total FODMAPs. If you searched whether split pea soup is low FODMAP or why split peas cause gas, the GOS is the reason, since it ferments in the colon rather than digesting. They are a distinct food from garden green peas, whose FODMAP mix is different, so check the green peas page if you eat both.

Watch for

  • Very high in galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS), the FODMAP that makes split peas and split pea soup bloating for sensitive guts
  • High total FODMAP load, so a thick, pea-heavy soup is a bigger dose than the portion suggests
  • They are a split field pea, not a lentil, so they carry the classic pulse GOS load rather than a lentil profile
  • Moderate nickel, worth noting only for people with systemic nickel allergy
