Peas are awesome!

They are green and round
Peas are not actually a vegetable but a small, edible legume and as such they belong to the same family as lentils, chickpeas, beans and peanuts. Peas grow in pods on a vine and once the pod is plump, they are ripe for picking. In the UK, peas are in season from May to October, but the majority of peas we consume are frozen, making them an all year staple.
