Peas are a type of edible legume, commonly known as a vegetable. They belong to the family Fabaceae and are scientifically known as Pisum sativum. They are cultivated and consumed worldwide, and they come in various varieties, including green peas, snow peas, and sugar snap peas.

Green peas are the most commonly consumed variety and are usually round and green in color. They are typically harvested when the seeds inside the pod are still young and tender. They are often sold fresh, frozen, or canned and can be used in a variety of dishes such as soups, salads, stews, and as a side vegetable.

Snow peas, also known as Chinese pea pods, have flat and edible pods with small, undeveloped peas inside. They are commonly used in stir-fries and other Asian dishes.

Sugar snap peas are a hybrid variety that combines the characteristics of green peas and snow peas. They have plump pods with sweet, edible peas inside and are often eaten whole, including the pod. It is a good source of vitamins, minerals, fiber, and protein, making them a nutritious addition to a balanced diet. They are also a popular garden vegetable due to their ease of cultivation and relatively short growing season.
