garden pea
Small green sphere
Garden pea is the common pea plant grown for its edible seeds, or the seeds themselves—the round green peas familiar from dinner plates and frozen vegetable bags.
The term distinguishes these from other pea varieties like snow peas or sugar snaps, where the pod is eaten whole: Fresh garden peas taste nothing like the canned kind.
