LEADER vegetable pea is an annual climbing herbaceous plant from the Fabaceae family with a branched stem ranging from 50 centimeters to 2-3 meters in length. Flowers form in the leaf axils, and fruits are two-chambered pods containing 2 to 10 smooth or angular round seeds. This pea variety is widely used in cooking and can be consumed fresh, canned, or frozen throughout the year; green sweet peas are particularly popular from May to July.
LEADER pea is distinguished by its high protein and vitamin content, making it a nutritious and healthy product. In fresh form, it is rich in B group, PP vitamins, as well as minerals such as iron, potassium, and selenium. Additionally, peas contain flavonoids — powerful antioxidants that contribute to strengthening health. Thanks to its composition, pea proteins can serve as a meat substitute in the diet, which is highly valued in dietary nutrition.
This pea variety is suitable for various methods of culinary processing: its fruits are consumed as immature pods or shelled seeds.
