Use:
Serve cooked peas in salads, soups or broths. They can also be added to rice or cooked with spicy Indian-style vegetables. The yellow pea is nicknamed the "chickpea of Quebec". In fact, it's just as tasty and nutritious as its cousin. It makes an excellent hummus.
Cooking :

To make cooking easier, add a little baking soda (2 teaspoons for 1 cup of peas and 4 liters of water). Baking soda softens the integument, which helps the water to penetrate the peas more easily, making them easier to cook when the time comes.
- Drain and rinse.

Bring them to the boil and simmer for about 90 minutes, or until they reach the consistency you like.
Storage :
Keep for up to one year in an airtight bag in a cupboard or cool, dry place.
