One bushel of shelled peas typically yields about 12 to 15 quarts. The exact amount can vary based on the size and quality of the peas, as well as how they are processed. Generally, you can expect around 14 quarts as a reasonable average.
a bushel is 56 lb
Thirty five pounds of shelled peas per bu of unshelled. Approx 8 quarts per bu of shelled peas from a bu of unshelled.
56 lb
According to the folks at the local Farmer's Market a bushel of shelled peas is 10lbs or should I say that's what they sell it as.
37.27 quarts Given that 37.27 quarts does indeed make a bushel of peas, there is another point of view that needs to be considered. If you are purchasing peas directly from a farmer, you normally buy them unshelled. A bushel of unshelled peas will not give you 37.27 quarts after you shell them, far from it. Normally you can expect only about a gallon of peas (4 quarts) after shelling a bushel of peas. If however the farmer is generous, you might actually get 5 to 6 quarts. This is what is called a 'round' bushel. That is, heaped until peas fall out of a bushel basket.
About $12.
2 1/2 quarts = 5 pounds
Everyone thing I find says 2 lbs and a pint is 1 lbs hope this helps Everyone
It takes about 7.5 pounds of peas to make a bushel of peas. This means that it takes about 1 1/2 five gallon buckets of peas to make a whole bushel of peas.
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 :)
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.
