The power of plants

The pea has been a part of the Mediterranean diet for thousands of years, and its seeds have been unearthed at prehistoric sites in the Middle East. Traditionally, mature pea seeds were consumed as a dry pulse, but later on, immature seeds were harvested and eaten as fresh green vegetables known as “garden peas.” The pea is a complete food, rich in protein, vitamins and minerals.
