Amalfi vegetable pea is a mid-season variety that matures in 60-65 days. The plant is medium-height, reaching a height of 50 to 60-65 cm, with a well-developed root system and foliage. Flowers are white or cream-colored, while pods are a rich green shade, slightly curved, and 8 to 12 cm long. Each pod contains 6 to 7 large, uniform, and round grains with a slightly sweet taste due to high sugar content, at least 6%. Amalfi pea is distinguished by high resistance to temperature fluctuations, fusarium, and main pests, making it a reliable choice for open-field cultivation. The plant prefers light, loose soils such as loamy or clay-loam, and does not require intensive irrigation. Thanks to the sturdy pod cover, the variety is suitable for mechanical harvesting, which facilitates crop collection. This pea variety is versatile in application: it can be used fresh, for freezing, canning, and processing. The tender flesh and sweet taste make it an excellent ingredient for various dishes. High vitamin and amino acid content contributes to the product's nutritional value, making Amalfi pea in demand among both farmers and consumers.
