A practical overview of processing and buying considerations for chickpeas and split green peas, two different dry pulses offered in distinct product forms.
Chickpeas are dry edible pulses sold as Kabuli or Desi seed, whole, split, dehulled or milled into flour. Choose class and form to match the food process or formulation, and compare lot moisture, size, defects and receiving needs.
Explore ingredientSplit green peas are dried mature field peas that have been dehulled and split for cooking and food manufacturing. Compare seed condition, moisture, fines, and analysis basis, then match the order and receiving plan to the intended use.
Explore ingredientPulse processing turns dry edible legume seeds into forms such as cleaned whole seeds, dehulled seeds, splits, flour and separated fractions. This collection focuses on chickpeas and split green peas: related dry pulses, but different crops and product forms. A processing route can include cleaning, grading, dehulling, splitting, milling and screening; the resulting form and quality depend on the crop and processing conditions.
Chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans, are used in foods such as hummus, canned products, salads and flour. A buyer considering whole chickpeas should identify the type or class and set expectations for size, colour, moisture, damage, splits and foreign material. Chickpea flour and concentrated protein ingredients are distinct products, not interchangeable names for whole chickpeas.
Split green peas are dry peas processed into split pieces, commonly through dehulling and splitting. Confirm that the requested product is split rather than whole, and define acceptable colour, intact splits, fines, hulls and foreign material. The word “split” alone does not settle how broken pieces or retained hulls are handled.
Start an inquiry with the intended use and exact product form, then request a specification that covers relevant quality factors and test methods. Clarify moisture basis, cleaning or screening steps, and how damage, colour and foreign material are assessed. These details matter because milling can produce different fractions, and quality factors that matter for whole seeds may not describe a milled product.
Do not infer suitability for a particular food, feed or pet-food use from the ingredient name alone. Assess the actual product form and its documented specifications for the intended application.
No. They are different pulse crops; “split” describes the processed form of the green peas in this collection.
Not necessarily. Confirm the product’s processing history and whether hull material remains.
Identify the crop and form, then set relevant requirements for moisture, colour, damage or split integrity, cleanliness, and test methods.
No. Flour and concentrated protein ingredients are different forms with distinct product identities and specifications.

Read this InsightA practical plan for receiving bulk chickpeas starts with class, form, quantity and destination, then aligns packaging and unloading with the facility. Moisture information, storage history and a physical inspection all inform decisions, but a grading threshold is not a storage limit or guarantee.
