Did You Know?
There are two types of pea grains: smooth and wrinkled. The smooth type is smaller and more resistant, maturing faster. The wrinkled type is more appreciated for being larger and having a sweeter flavor. Peas are easily digestible and can be stored dried or canned. The plant is a vine with compound leaves ending in tendrils (Source: Wikipedia).
