A PEA IS MOST most commonly the small spherical seed or the seed-pod of the legume Pisum sativum. Peas are considered to be a vegetable in cooking. The name is also used to describe other edible seeds from the Fabaceae such as the pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan), the cowpea (Vigna unguiculata), and the seeds from several species of Lathyrus.
According to etymologists, the term pea was taken from the Latin pisum, the latinization of the Greek (pison). It was adopted into English as the noun pease (plural peasen), as in pease pudding. However, by analogy with other plurals ending in -s, speakers began construing pease as a plural and constructing the singular form by dropping the "s", giving the term "pea". This process is known as back-formation.
The folic acid and vitamin B6 in green peas are helpful for cardiovascular health. In fact, a 1995 study concluded that 400 micrograms per day of folic acid could prevent 28,000 cardiovascular deaths per year in the United States. The contributions of green peas to heart health do not stop there. The vitamin K featured in green peas is essential to the body's healthy blood clotting ability. Green peas contain insoluble fiber which aids intestinal mobility and may help lower cholesterol and thereby reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. Also, Green Peas contain nicotinic acid which reduces cholesterol in the blood.
Cancer Protection
Due to its high Vitamin A and C content, Green Peas may help in the prevention of all forms of cancer. Fresh green peas contain anti-oxidant flavonoids such as carotenes, lutein and zeaxanthin as well as vitamin-A. Vitamin A is essential nutrient which is required for maintaining healthy mucus membranes and skin and is also vital for vision. Consumption of foods rich in flavonoids helps people to be protected from lung and oral cavity cancers.

Peas: A History
In early times, peas were grown mostly for their dry seeds. In modern times, however, peas are usually boiled or steamed, which breaks down the cell walls and makes the taste sweeter and the nutrients more bio-available. Along with broad beans and lentils, these formed an important part of the diet of most people in the Middle East, North Africa and Europe during the Middle Ages.
By the 1600s and 1700s it had become popular to eat peas "green", that is, while they are immature and right after they are picked. This was especially true in France and England, where the eating of green peas was said to be "both a fashion and a madness". New cultivars of peas were developed by the English during this time which became known as garden peas and English peas. The popularity of green peas spread to North America. Thomas Jefferson grew more than 30 cultivars of peas on his estate.
With the invention of canning and freezing of foods, green peas became available year-round, and not just in the spring as before.
