# Pea recipes
The pea is a green, pod-shaped fruit grown as a cool-season vegetable. Pea seeds can be planted as soon as the soil temperature reaches around 10°C. Generally, peas are grown outdoors during the winter and not in greenhouses.
Peas can either have “low-growing” or “vining” cultivars. The vining type grows tendrils from leaves that wrap around available support. There are a large amount of pea varieties to choose from. Some of the most common pea seeds available include:
Ambassador pea seeds – Ideal fresh or frozen. Big juicy peas.
Ceresa pea seeds – Petit pois at their very best. This variety is semi-leafless.
Delikett pea seeds – A heavy cropping snow pea, which produces stringless pods.
