Abstract

The popularity of garden peas, now easily our most widely favoured green vegetable, is nothing new in the history of human food. Pea seeds were the regular food of many races of prehistoric man, wherever the wild plants grew naturally in the Middle East, Ethiopia and Mid‐Asia. The remains of such seeds have been found in many prehistoric sites, including the Swiss lake dwellings of the Bronze Age dating back some 5,000 years.
