Posted by Marilyn (Kentucky - Zone 6a) on May 20, 2013 10:27 PM "The pea is most commonly the small spherical seed or the seed-pod of the pod fruit Pisum sativum. Each pod contains several peas. Peapods are botanically a fruit, since they contain seeds developed from the ovary of a (pea) flower. However, peas are considered to be a vegetable in cooking. [ Reply to this comment | |
Posted by Newyorkrita (North Shore, Long Island, NY ) on Sep 22, 2013 1:00 PM I love peas. All sorts of peas. I buy them both canned and frozen at the supermarket, but nothing beats the taste of my own home-grown peas fresh from the garden in spring. And peas are so easy to grow. Start them early in spring for that first crop and then sow a second crop in late summer for peas to eat in fall. [ Reply to this comment | |
