Pea is an important nutritious leguminous vegetable that is widely cultivated throughout the world. It is a cool-season, frost-hardy, crop extensively grown in temperate zones but also restricted to cooler altitudes in the tropics and winter seasons in the subtropics. It is a rich source of proteins, amino acids, sugars, carbohydrate, vitamins A and C, calcium and phosphorous, and also has a small quantity of iron. This podcast explains how to grow peas.
