-A '''pea''' is the edible [[fruit]] of the [[legume|leguminous]] plant ''pisum sativum''. Peas are small, green and roughly spherical in shape; they grow in a green pod which is inedible except when very young. Young peas cooked in their pod are known as ''mange-tout'', [[French]] for "eat it all".
-Peas are sold fresh in their pods, frozen, canned, or dried - the last of these need to be rehydrated before eating, and are sometimes sold rehydrated and canned, as 'processed peas'. In [[England]], [[mushy peas]] - a lumpy puree of processed peas - is a popular accompaniment to [[fish and chips]], [[pie]]s and other dishes.
