Pea Facts

The Latin name for peas is pisum sativum.
The first peas were frozen by Clarence Birdseye who invented the 'plate froster' to preserve foods in the 1920s.
On average everyone in Britain eats nearly 9,000 peas per year.
The world record for eating peas is held by Janet Harris of Sussex who, in 1984, ate 7175 peas one by one in 60 minutes using chopsticks!
Thick London fogs of the 19th and 20th centuries were dubbed 'pea-soupers' because of their density and green tinge.
There are 35,000 hectares of peas grown in the UK each year, equivalent to about 70,000 football pitches. This produces about 160,000 tonnes of frozen peas - that's 2 billion 80 gram portions.

Finish With a Song
It was another day with nothing else to do
Than to shell garden peas.
Each pea I free from its organic bed
Clears the clouds from my dark head
The pod it pops a party favour
Releasing smell and green flavor
I can eat them raw uncooked and crude
A vegetablecannibal munched and chewed
I thank the stars that my worries melt
With this small action of aggression dealt
As simple pea I pod, not toil
And in the end, I bring them to birth
From garden muck a muddy earth
To feed me nutrition and goodness true
To change my colour to green from blue
It was another day with nothing else to do
Than to shell garden peas.
