Product Information

The health benefits of peas are largely attributed to their natural antioxidant content, bioactive proteins, and oligosaccharides. Peas are generally characterized into two varieties: garden peas (also known as English peas) and sugar peas (including snap peas and snow peas). In the small community of Emerson, Arkansas, the humble field pea is celebrated in the “Purple Hull Pea Festival” every year since 1990. The weevil larvae feed on the root nodules of pea plants, which are essential to the plants' supply of nitrogen, and thus diminish leaf and stem growth. ICARDA evaluated from 2016 to 2018 wild relatives [21] to explore the genes with low or no ODAP and resistant/tolerant to biotic/abiotic stresses and transfer them to cultivated grass pea.

Young children, growing girls at puberty, pregnant women as well senior citizens all have higher needs of iron and risks of developing iron deficiency symptoms like fatigue and weakness. Lutein and zeaxanthin act as filters from harmful blue light, which contributes to cataracts and macular degeneration. The festival was the brain-child of Glen Eades, who decided his small community (which wasn’t even big enough for its own police officer or park) needed a little “shaking up. With the invention of canning and freezing of foods, green peas became available year-round, and not just in the spring as before.Pod peas ( snow peas and snap peas) are used in stir-fried dishes, particularly those in American Chinese cuisine. These nutrients help protect your eyes from chronic diseases, such as cataracts and age-related macular degeneration.

Anti-inflammatory nutrients in peas have been associated with lowering the risk of inflammatory conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and arthritis.The variety under this name was described as having sub-leathery and compressed- terete pods and a French name of petit pois.
