Batcherlors Traditional Marrowfat Peas (2 x 200g pack)

Can i use split peas and still have that same love it effect everyone is exclaiming? or use the big frozen peas

Are these dried peas?

Can you please tell me what the ingredients are ? Do they have artificial colorings in them? Or anything other than just the peas?
