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.
Thirty five pounds of shelled peas per bu of unshelled. Approx 8 quarts per bu of shelled peas from a bu of unshelled.
About $12.
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 :)
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.
Roughly two dollars a pound in the shell. So, around 20 pounds of peas in the shell per bushel should bring around 40 dollars a bushel.
The average cost per pound for a bushel of peas in Alabama can vary based on market conditions, seasonality, and local supply. Typically, a bushel of peas weighs around 25 to 30 pounds, and prices can range from $15 to $30 per bushel, leading to an average cost of approximately $0.50 to $1.20 per pound. For the most accurate and current prices, checking local markets or agricultural reports is recommended.
2 to 2 1/2 cups dried Black-Eyed Peas is one pound. It makes 5 -6 cups cooked peas. 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 cups shelled is one pound in pods.

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.
I would not give my goldfish any shelled peas. The best food for them is Earthworms.
