11,000 years of man's favourite pulse

Adored through the ages by farmers and sultans alike, peas lend a subtle sweetness to everything from Turkish stews to Russian salad.

A handful of green peas improves not only the flavour but the look of many a winter dish. Celeriac hearts, for example, are unthinkable without a garnish of peas. Pea soup and pilav with peas bring a beam of spring sunshine to the table.
