How to use: 

Contrary to popular belief, It is not necessary to soak split green peas before cooking. However, by doing so you will be able to reduce cooking time. To cook the peas simply rinse the peas in water several times before beginning to cook. When you cook, cover the peas with about double the amount of water or stock and bring to boil. After reaching the boil, turn the heat down to medium, and cook for about 45 minutes until the peas are tender. After draining, Green Split Peas can be used as needed for various dishes.
