peas

Small green legumes

Peas are small round green seeds that grow in pods, eaten as a vegetable.

The word is almost always plural—a single one is a pea, but you'd never ask for just one.

Peas appear in soups, stir-fries, and as a side dish.

Like two peas in a pod describes people who are nearly identical.

Sweet peas are flowering plants, not edible.
