green/garden peas

The pea is most commonly the small spherical seed or the seed-pod of the pod fruit Pisum sativum. Each pod contains several peas, which can be green or yellow. Pea pods are botanically fruit, since they contain seeds and develop from the ovary of a (pea) flower. The immature peas (and in snow peas the tender pod as well) are used as a vegetable, fresh, frozen or canned; varieties of the species typically called field peas are grown to produce dry peas like the split pea shelled from the matured pod.

    Recipe Peas and potato curry

    This is not the usual idea of a curry; it has very little liquid, although it is definitely not dry, and has a slightly lemony taste. Any "heat" depends on which chillies you use. It can be used as an accompaniment to other vegetable or meat dishes, or on its own with chappatis and a cucumber...

    Legumes, Pulses, Beans, Peas and Lentils.

    I have been asked what the difference between a bean, a pea and a lentil is and I have to confess I didn't really know. I just knew that they were all different and that a lentil was not a pea, just as a pea is not a bean. It was even harder explaining the difference between a legume and a...
