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.
Thirty five pounds of shelled peas per bu of unshelled. Approx 8 quarts per bu of shelled peas from a bu of unshelled.
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.
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.
six --OR-- If you are talking about a strictly volumetric conversion, there are 32 quarts in a bushel. This would be the case if you had one bushel of dried, shelled field corn, for example.
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
