Pea yellow

Overview

Pea yellow is a traditional snack in Beijing. According to Beijing custom, pea yellow is eaten on the third day of the third month of the lunar calendar. Therefore, pea yellow is on the market every spring and is available until the end of spring. There are two types of pea yellow in Beijing: court and folk. I bought peeled peas online and made them myself! The color is light yellow, delicate and pure, and it melts in your mouth.
