Compare all 2 food records, nutrition tables and USDA sources

The 2 exact records in this guide report 105–155 calories in the records' own listed source servings and 117–168 calories per 100 grams. Those are observations from named database records—not a universal range or an estimate of an unseen plate.

Match my meal

Start with the description closest to what you ate

For Split peas from dried, begin by separating “Split peas, from dried, fat added” from “Split peas, from dried, no added fat.” Choosing a card filters this source set; it does not infer the portion or fill in ingredients the chosen description does not name.

What this page compares

Named source records, not one universal meal

This guide keeps 2 named USDA records in view: 2 direct matches. All sit within “Beans, peas, legumes.” The exact descriptions remain the unit of comparison; the familiar heading is only the doorway into the evidence.

Why these records appear together: The deterministic grouping rule “normalized first description segment” placed these 2 records together under the exact grouping key “split peas.” That rule determines membership before any nutrition result is read.

For Split peas from dried, this page can compare 2 named records from FDC 2707421 through FDC 2707420. It cannot observe which preparation was eaten, recover unnamed additions, or supply the eaten grams.

Editor’s decision brief

The three facts to carry into the table

Carry the denominator, exact identity, and strongest observed contrast into every number below.

Portion

90–92 g before composition

The largest source amount is 1.0× the smallest. Read per-serving calorie differences with that mass gap in view.

Composition

51 kcal separates the fixed-weight endpoints

The lower endpoint is “no added fat”; the higher is “fat added.” This isolates density, not ingredient causation.

Discriminator

0.5 g protein gap per 100 g

Of protein, fiber, and sodium, the strongest normalized contrast is between “fat added” (7.8 g) and “no added fat” (8.3 g).

Observed source examples

Both records, with their own serving weights intact

The cards are ordered by calories in each record's listed serving. Serving weights differ, so use per-100-gram values to compare composition. These selected records do not define a calorie range for every split peas from dried.

Important: “Lower” begins with Split peas, from dried, no added fat; “higher” ends with Split peas, from dried, fat added, using each record’s own source amount. Those labels order this selected set only—they are not endpoints for every split peas from dried meal.

Full comparison

Compare every selected FNDDS record

For Split peas from dried, serving columns preserve each record’s own listed amount, while calories per 100 g hold weight constant. A dash means the cited record does not supply that field; it does not mean the nutrient is absent.

On smaller screens, focus the table and scroll horizontally to read every column.

Portion analysis

Serving total and calorie density answer different questions

The listed source amounts run from 90 to 92 grams—a 2-gram gap before composition enters the comparison. Their own source servings run from 105 calories for “no added fat” to 155 for “fat added.” At a fixed 100 grams, “no added fat” is 117 calories and “fat added” is 168—a fixed-weight separation of 51 calories. For Split peas from dried, the serving view answers “how much is in the database portion?”; the 100-gram view answers “how concentrated is the matched record?” Neither reveals how many grams were actually eaten.

The scaling rule: multiply a per-100-gram value by eaten grams ÷ 100. The arithmetic is exact; the result is only as defensible as the record match and portion estimate.

Preparation analysis

The long description carries the evidence

The published descriptions distinguish forms such as “from dried, fat added” and “from dried, no added fat”. Across the source formulations, the shared backbone includes peas, split, mature seeds, cooked, boiled, without salt and salt, table; differentiating rows include vegetable oil, nfs. On this Split peas from dried page, those rows make the records inspectable, but they are not a controlled experiment: they cannot tell us that one named input, by itself, caused a nutrient difference.

Database precision is not meal certainty. Retain the exact description beside the number so later corrections remain possible.

What changes the comparison

Four drivers worth checking before choosing a record

The family label “Split peas from dried” cannot resolve the differences between Split peas, from dried, fat added and Split peas, from dried, no added fat. The four checks below identify the record wording, source weight, and formulation evidence that can.

  1. 01

    Source weight before serving calories

    The source amounts span 90–92 grams. Compare per 100 grams before reading a serving-calorie gap as a composition gap.

  2. 02

    The words that split the family

    Representative record-level distinctions include “from dried, fat added” and “from dried, no added fat”. Those phrases are evidence for choosing a record, not decorative subtitle text.

  3. 03

    Formulation evidence, with limits

    Shared source rows include peas, split, mature seeds, cooked, boiled, without salt and salt, table; rows that vary across the set include vegetable oil, nfs. Presence is inspectable evidence, not proof of nutrient causation.

  4. 04

    The unresolved plate

    Even “Split peas, from dried, fat added” leaves the eaten grams and unnamed oils, sauces, toppings, substitutions, or leftovers unresolved. Preserve those Split peas from dried unknowns for correction instead of converting them into false precision.

Record matching

Match identity first; scale quantity second

Read the source name as a sequence of decisions. First confirm that split peas from dried is the right meal family. Then resolve the phrases that actually separate this set—“from dried, fat added” and “from dried, no added fat”—before comparing gram weight. If a package, menu, or known recipe provides a closer first-party description, prefer it and keep this USDA record as a transparent fallback.

A practical matching checklist

  1. Read the complete Split peas from dried source description, including preparation and additions.
  2. Compare the listed source weight with the amount actually eaten.
  3. Prefer a current package or restaurant source when a specific branded item is known.
  4. Record toppings, sauces, cooking fat, sides, and substitutions that the selected description does not name.

Decision support from the exact records on this page

Turn source data into a better next decision

These conclusions and reading paths are computed from 2 exact records behind Split peas from dried source-record guide. Links are chosen by record identity, controlled contrast, formulation input, nutrient spread, or serving context—not by loose keyword similarity.

Equal-weight result

Split peas, from dried, fat added is higher in total fat per 100 g

Split peas, from dried, fat added reports 6.9 g versus 0.4 g for Split peas, from dried, no added fat: a 6.5 g difference when both are normalized to 100 g.

Inspect the underlying evidence

Check the weight before comparing serving totals

Source amounts span 90–92 g

Split peas, from dried, no added fat uses USDA source amount (90 g), while Split peas, from dried, fat added uses USDA source amount (92 g). Use per 100 g for equal-weight composition; use the serving column only when those named source amounts answer your question.

Choose the record before reading the number

Split peas, from dried, fat added and Split peas, from dried, no added fat are not interchangeable

The page keeps both records at the same 100 g denominator and makes Added-fat wording (added fat versus no added fat) the explicit record-description contrast. It does not show that the wording difference caused a nutrient difference. Pick the description that matches the food in front of you rather than averaging away the distinction.
