Did you know?
- Peas are among the earliest cultivated crops, dating back to 10,000 years ago.
- Green peas are actually the immature form of the dried pea, harvested before they ripen.
- Frozen peas are often more nutritious than fresh peas because they are frozen immediately after picking, preserving their vitamins.
- The pea plant is a natural source of nitrogen, which enriches soil and improves farming productivity.
Drawback
