Production & Sourcing

Peas are the small, spherical, edible seed pods of the legume family. They are widely consumed as a nutritious and versatile food, and are a staple ingredient in a variety of cuisines around the world. Production: Peas are produced commercially in both fresh and dried forms. There are two main types of peas: garden peas (also known as English peas) and snow peas (also known as Chinese peas). Garden peas are the most commonly consumed type, and they are grown in temperate regions, such as Europe, United States, and Canada. Snow peas are grown in more tropical regions, such as Asia and Africa. Sourcing: Peas are mainly sourced from agricultural farms and are available in both fresh and dried forms.Fresh peas are typically sold in their pods, and are harvested when the pods are still green and tender. Dried peas are harvested when the pods have dried and the peas have matured, and they are often used for stews, soups, and other cooked dishes.
