How many quarts of peas makes a bushel?
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.
