replies: text: The dried peas discussed in this article are all Pisum sativum.  Many other dried legumes are called peas, but they are not of this species.  Pigeon peas and toor dal are both from species Cajanus cajan. MonteGargano (talk) 15:41, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

message: What is the difference between Split Peas and ordinary garden peas?  I find when I eat garden peas, even cooked, they can give me the runs.  But Split Pea soup does not do that.  Why?  Also, split peas help me sleep better.  What is in them that does that?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.68.147.19 (talk) 18:03, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

message: The start of this article defines the subject with reference to "Pisum sativum". Accurate as that definition may be, isn't that reference too confusing for the majority of readers? Can we just define it with reference to the good old common "pea"? WingedPig (talk) 13:35, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

message: Why is the list of nutrition for split pea so different to the green pea listed under Pea?  Does it really loose all those vitamins and minerals just in drying and losing its skin?

message: This article says ... dal made with split peas is made similarly to Indian dal.  But the Lentil article says Indian dal is made from lentils.  Kdammers (talk) 14:27, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

message: Split peas are processed marrowfat peas, as I understand it, and I think those two articles should be merged. MonteGargano (talk) 15:46, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I think we're running into a lot of local terminology issues here. In America these are just plain peas. All the other peas are some special breed or variety. The article acts as if their proper name is split pea, as if one would have a list of split peas, black-eyed peas, chickpeas, etc.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:448:C300:6E10:DD88:D3D5:E21E:73FB (talk) 04:29, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
