Peas

Peas are small, round seeds found inside thin, green pods of the pea plant. They are bright green with a tender texture and a naturally sweet, fresh flavor. Typically harvested when young, peas can be eaten fresh, cooked, or dried depending on the variety.

Fresh garden peas (also called green peas or English peas) are usually shelled before eating, while snow peas and sugar snap peas have edible pods and are enjoyed whole. Peas are commonly added to soups, stir-fries, rice dishes, salads, and purees.

They are nutrient-rich, providing fiber, protein, vitamin C, vitamin K, and several antioxidants. Their sweetness and versatility make peas a popular ingredient in many cuisines around the world.
