Are little white things normal in yellow split peas?

Yes, little white things in yellow split peas are generally normal and can be a result of the natural texture and processing of the peas. These may be small fragments of the seed coat or starch that have become dislodged during processing. However, if you notice an unusual amount or signs of mold or spoilage, it’s best to discard them. Always rinse and inspect split peas before cooking.
