Cerebral peas are oval, not very large, but sweet and tasty. As for smooth-grain - it is larger, and its shape is rounded. Such a product is more suitable for salads, and brain peas for pates, mash and similar dishes, so when purchasing, you always need to pay attention to the variety that is mentioned on the jar.
