Crowder peas? I read that a lb of peas in the pod would yield 1 cup. I bought just over two pounds and have 1 1/4 lbs shelled peas, more like a quart! Is that because they're too large (mature)? I would like to know how to choose them. These vary from dark green to white pods. Is it better to buy one over the other? I'm going to fix them with ham stock, I guess. Any info, tips, etc would be appreciated.

Crowder, cow peas, or cream peas..... - Music City Missy - 1:38pm on 07/27/08

Exactly what I wanted to know, Thanks so much! Some of these are over ripe, but most aren't. [NT] - Curious1 - 1:52pm on 07/27/08

PS - 1 cup doesn't sound right, I think the quart is closer to being correct. [NT] - Music City Missy - 1:39pm on 07/27/08
