garden peas
Small green spheres
Garden peas are the common green peas eaten as a vegetable, distinguished from field peas grown for drying or animal feed.
The term emphasizes peas cultivated for fresh consumption—shelled from pods and eaten young and tender: We're having garden peas with dinner.
Also called English peas or simply green peas.
