- 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.
- 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.
