The vegetable pea variety Cascade is a medium-maturing sugar variety for universal use, maturing within 60-65 days from germination to market maturity. The plant reaches a height of 70-80 cm, has large light-green leaves with a grayish tint and a waxy bloom. The flowers are large and white, which facilitates good pollination and crop formation.
The pods of the Cascade variety are straight or slightly curved, 8-10 cm long, containing 10-12 light-green sugar grains. The pod skins are juicy, fleshy, and sweet, with a partial parchment layer, giving them a delicacy taste. The weight of 100 pods is about 710 grams, and with proper agronomy, approximately 1.65 kilograms of product in technical maturity can be harvested from one square meter.
The variety is distinguished by high yield, unpretentiousness, and high protein and sugar content, making it valuable for growing in open ground. Thanks to its taste qualities and universal application, Cascade pea is suitable both for fresh consumption and for culinary processing.
