Peas

Peas are small, round, green legumes that are commonly used in a variety of dishes worldwide. They have a subtly sweet flavor and a tender, slightly starchy texture that pairs well with both hearty and delicate ingredients. In international cuisine, peas are often incorporated into soups, stews, rice dishes, and salads, adding a burst of freshness and color. Historically, peas have been cultivated for thousands of years, playing a significant role in European, Asian, and Middle Eastern culinary traditions as a nutritious and versatile staple.
