Speedy mushy peas

I have a random question that has been bothering me for a while.

How come mushy peas are speedier than normal peas?!

Anyone know why/how? I fear I may not sleep tonight if I don't find out...

Ha, ha, no idea, I may not sleep now I need to know!!!!

Its like a brain teaser - I really hope someone knows the answer

Please slimming world gods answer this diet conundrum!x

Do you think it's because the mushy peas have been broken down already, yet peas have to be chewed saliva starts the breaking down process etc - do the mushy peas are a head of the peas at mouth entrance - lol I honestly don't know but here's one theory

A good question! I think it might be because mushy peas are made from marrowfat peas, which are left to mature whereas garden peas are not marrowfat and are picked when they're still young. I would guess different types are more fibrous and/or become more so as they age? I grow peas and I've noticed that the taste and texture of young peas straight from the pod is very different to those that come out of a pod I've missed and has become a bit yellow with age.
