Question: what is the difference between yellow lentils and yellow split peas?
Answer: Split Peas Both are the seeds of Pisum Sativum. To make a split pea, the green pea is peeled and dried. Split peas are field peas, they are either yellow or green peas grown specifically for drying. ... Yellow split peas are not the same as the red/yellow lentils used to make Indian dals.
