Retail
Ends: Dec 31, 2025
DESCRIPTION:
2025 IS THE YEAR OF THE PEA
Fleuroselect Home Garden Association in The Netherlands and The National Garden Bureau in North America have declared 2025 the Year of the Pea, celebrating this versatile and nutritious legume that has been a staple in kitchens and gardens around the world for centuries. The initiative aims to highlight the importance of peas in our diets, their historical significance, and the variety of ways to enjoy them.TYPES OF PEAS
Peas come in several varieties, each with unique characteristics:
Garden Peas (Pisum sativum)—These are the most common type, also known as English peas. They are typically shelled before eating.
Snow Peas (Pisum sativum var. saccharate)—are often eaten whole, including the pod, and are recognized by their flat pods.
Snap Peas (Pisum sativum var. macrocarpon)—a cross between garden peas and snow peas. They have a plump pod that can be eaten whole.NUTRITION
Peas, a powerhouse of nutrition, are a testament to the saying 'good things come in small packages '. They are low in calories yet rich in vitamins and minerals. A single cup of peas provides:
Vitamin C—Boosts the immune system and promotes healthy skin.
Vitamin K—Essential for blood clotting and bone health.
Fiber—Aids in digestion and helps maintain a healthy weight.
Protein—Supports muscle growth and repair.
Additionally, peas contain antioxidants, such as flavonoids and carotenoids, which can help reduce inflammation and lower the risk of chronic diseases.
ORIGIN AND HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE
Peas, with their long and storied history, are a testament to the enduring legacy of food. They originated in the Middle East around 8,000 years ago and spread to Europe, Asia, and eventually the Americas. Throughout history, peas continue to be valued for their nutritional content and ability to improve soil fertility through nitrogen fixation.POPULAR DISHES FEATURING PEAS
Peas, with their versatility, are a canvas for culinary creativity in various cuisines worldwide. Some popular dishes that showcase this versatility include:
Pea Soup—
A comforting dish made with fresh or dried peas, often flavored with ham or herbs.
Risi e Bisi—
