    Green Peas – Pisum sativum Facts

    Green pea is most commonly the small spherical seed or the seed-pod of the pod fruit Pisum sativum. It is one of the ancient cultivated vegetables grown for their succulent nutritious green seeds. It is a quick growing, annual herbaceous vine which requires trellis to support its growth. It flourishes under well-drained, sandy soil supplemented with adequate moisture and cool weather conditions. It probably originated in the sub-Himalayan plains of north-west India. Today, this versatile legume is one of the major commercial crops grown all over the temperate and semi-tropical regions.
