Thirty five pounds of shelled peas per bu of unshelled. Approx 8 quarts per bu of shelled peas from a bu of unshelled.
purple hulled peas are a common type of field pea, yes.
I'm not sure about a gallon but I am currently growing purple hull peas and I have been selling then by the bushel and have been getting $18 for unshellled and $22 for shelled. Some people in my area (Alabama) have been getting as much as $24 and $25 a bushel. Hope this helps......Lori :)
Purple-shelled clams, called cherrystone clams or mercenaries, are a species of clam commonly found along the east coast. Small cherrystone clams start out as white when small, but turn purple as they grow larger.

Check out this website: http://www.unc.edu/~rowlett/units/scales/bushels.html I would think purple hull peas should be around the same as field peas. If I find out differently, I will come back and try to correct this entry.

The purple coloring is from the pigment anthocyanin. This is a beneficial antioxidant that is contained in most purple pigmented vegetables such as purple broccoli, purple cabbage, and eggplant and in fruits such as currents, raspberries, and grapes. This pigment is not in most green pea varieties and is only present in the hulls of the purple hulled pea and not in the green peas themselves.
From what I have learned today, you should get 13-17 quarts (26-34 pints) from a bushel. Check out these links: http://web.extension.uiuc.edu/regions/srd/nutrition/ToMarket_2009.pdf http://www.unc.edu/~rowlett/units/scales/bushels.html
