Green Peas With Shell

Green Peas With Shell

It is one of the oldest edible plants and probably one of the first cultivated. It is a pod of green colour (pale or dark, according to the variety), more or less compressed, in many cases cylindrical and tapered to the ends. The pods are usually 8 to 10 cm long, even and bright. They contain an undetermined number of seeds (7-9) that are the edible fruits; the grains are tender if they are harvested before they reach maturity, with a sweet taste when they are consumed raw.
