AMS-GD-2020-38 - Split Peas

  1. How would two halves of a pea that are stuck together with no seed coat attached function in Split peas?

    ANSWER.
    Un-split peas without seed coats shall be considered whole peas. Two halves of a pea that are misaligned but stuck together shall be considered split peas.
     
  2. Are split peas with a pinkish discoloration on the cotyledon considered damage?

    ANSWER. Yes. For reference use the Note listed on VRI Peas 1.4 Mold/Mildew Damage. Any amount of mold/mildew on the cotyledon (meat) of the pea is damage. Mold occurs in many colors.
