peas have an even longer history than broad beans, and there is archaelogical evidence that they were cultivated as long ago as 5700 BC. They are high in protein and carbohydrate and would have been an important staple food. Cook peas simply in water with a sprig of mint and serve with butter. They are an energy providing food that have tonic properties and can be helpful to regulate the function of the bowel.
