Calories in Green Peas, Snow Peas and Split Peas

By NYUS Inc. · Published 28 October 2026

A cup of green peas, ten snow pea pods and a cup of cooked split peas each have a cup or pod weight printed on their SR Legacy record page. This guide gives eighteen such records from the SR Legacy table of USDA FoodData Central: seven green pea records (raw, boiled, frozen boiled and four canned), six edible-podded pea (snow pea and sugar snap) records (raw, boiled, frozen), three split pea records (dry, and cooked with and without salt) and two pigeon pea (red gram) records (dry and cooked), with the weights printed on their record pages. Frozen green peas, plain boiled green peas and a few canned rows are already in other guides and are not repeated. IFCT 2017, the Indian Food Composition Tables from ICMR-NIN, has its own rows for matar, arhar and toor, named below and not repeated here; sprouted peas and other sprouts are in our sprouts guide, boiled vegetables and beans in our boiled vegetable guide and edamame in our tofu, tempeh and edamame guide.

The short answer

By the SR Legacy records, 1 cup of raw green peas (145 g) is 117.5 kcal, 1 cup of boiled green peas with salt (160 g) 134.4 kcal, 1 cup of drained canned green peas (175 g) 119.0 kcal, 10 raw snow pea pods (34 g) 14.3 kcal, 1 cup of boiled snow peas (160 g) 67.2 kcal, 1 cup of cooked split peas (196 g) 231.3 kcal and 1 cup of cooked pigeon peas (168 g) 203.3 kcal. Our reading: dry split and pigeon peas print 364 and 343 kcal per 100 g against 118 and 121 cooked, so a cup of dry peas is a very different amount from a cup cooked; log each against the row that matches the state you weighed.

SR Legacy: per 100 g

Every figure below is exactly as the record page shows it. The record names are the dataset's own.

SR Legacy: per printed portion

Each figure is our arithmetic on exact weights: kcal per 100 g times the grams, divided by 100, with the exact product in the sums line and the result shown to 0.1 with half rounding up. Every weight below is printed on the SR Legacy record page; none is ours. Can and package labels that carry a size inside the label are shown as printed.

The sums: 170419 81 × 145 / 100 = 117.45, so 117.5 kcal; 170102 84 × 160 / 100 = 134.4, so 134.4 kcal; 170105 78 × 253 / 100 = 197.34, so 197.3 kcal; 170105 78 × 80 / 100 = 62.4, so 62.4 kcal; 170013 68 × 313 / 100 = 212.84, so 212.8 kcal; 170013 68 × 175 / 100 = 119, so 119.0 kcal; 170014 50 × 227 / 100 = 113.5, so 113.5 kcal; 170014 50 × 114 / 100 = 57, so 57.0 kcal; 170015 71 × 163 / 100 = 115.73, so 115.7 kcal; 170015 71 × 257 / 100 = 182.47, so 182.5 kcal; 170103 53 × 482 / 100 = 255.46, so 255.5 kcal; 170103 53 × 124 / 100 = 65.72, so 65.7 kcal; 170010 42 × 63 / 100 = 26.46, so 26.5 kcal; 170010 42 × 34 / 100 = 14.28, so 14.3 kcal; 170010 42 × 98 / 100 = 41.16, so 41.2 kcal; 170011 42 × 160 / 100 = 67.2, so 67.2 kcal; 170509 40 × 160 / 100 = 64, so 64.0 kcal; 170012 42 × 284 / 100 = 119.28, so 119.3 kcal; 170012 42 × 144 / 100 = 60.48, so 60.5 kcal; 170418 52 × 160 / 100 = 83.2, so 83.2 kcal; 170418 52 × 253 / 100 = 131.56, so 131.6 kcal; 170510 50 × 253 / 100 = 126.5, so 126.5 kcal; 170510 50 × 160 / 100 = 80, so 80.0 kcal; 172428 364 × 196 / 100 = 713.44, so 713.4 kcal; 175257 116 × 196 / 100 = 227.36, so 227.4 kcal; 172429 118 × 12.2 / 100 = 14.396, so 14.4 kcal; 172429 118 × 196 / 100 = 231.28, so 231.3 kcal; 172436 343 × 205 / 100 = 703.15, so 703.2 kcal; 172472 121 × 168 / 100 = 203.28, so 203.3 kcal.

Why these are reference rows, not your matar

• Names are the records'. No record name or portion label shown here carries a company name. The records are USDA's generic raw, boiled, canned, frozen and dry rows; we do not say that a matar, a dal or a pea sabzi in India matches them, and split peas are not claimed to be a particular Indian dal.
• IFCT rows. IFCT 2017 has peas fresh (D061), peas dry (B017), red gram dal (B021), red gram whole (B022) and red gram tender fresh (D067) rows, named here and not used. It has no snow pea or sugar snap row.
• Overlap with our other guides. Our peas and French beans guide prints IFCT fresh peas (D061) at 81 kcal per 100 g, and our raw rice, atta and dal guide prints IFCT raw toor dal (B021) at 331; this page has USDA raw green peas at 81, dry pigeon peas at 343 and dry split peas at 364. They are different datasets and some are different foods, so figures can agree or differ: use one source for a meal.
• Every portion here is printed. No cup, pod or can weight on this page is ours: each is printed on its record page, and the only weight that is ours is the labelled 100 g example in the logging section.
• The records' own notes. The record pages mark the kcal energy of all 18 of the 18 records "Calculated"; they are USDA values, not our measurements.

How to log it so the numbers hold

• Weigh it cooked or raw, and say which. 100 g of raw green peas (our example weight, not a dataset value) on SR Legacy 170419 is 81 × 100 / 100 = 81, so 81.0 kcal.
• Dry and cooked are different rows. A cup of dry split peas is 196 g at 364 kcal per 100 g, and a cup cooked is 196 g at 118; weigh the dal in the state you will log it.
• Pick the form the record names. Raw, boiled, frozen and canned are different rows, and the with salt and without salt rows are a pair; choose the one that matches how you cooked it.
• Oil, ghee and paneer are separate. A matar paneer, an aloo matar or a dal tadka is not these rows: ghee is in our ghee and oil guide and paneer in our cheese and paneer guide.
• Do not mix datasets inside one day. If you log peas from SR Legacy, keep to that record for the same meal.

Where NYUS fits (our app)

We make NYUS, so read this as ours. NYUS is an AI fitness and nutrition coach in early access on Android, with no ads and no data selling. You log foods yourself by searching 8,900+ Indian and global foods or by barcode, and a weekly check-in adjusts your calories, macros and step goal once enough is logged. Barcode coverage of Indian packaged foods is not complete, so search by name when a scan finds nothing.
