You'll find them marketed as green or yellow split peas.  I find no 
particular difference in taste and the texture depends on how soft they are 
cooked.  If you could get them fresh, it might be a different matter, but 
they are basically ground cover plants that can be harvested and sold to 
processors for additional revenue.  I don't recall ever seeing a fresh field 
pea outside of the field.
