Field peas

Field peas are a versatile legume commonly grown for animal feed, human consumption, and as a cover crop to improve soil health. They belong to the pea family and produce edible seeds that are rich in protein, fiber, and nutrients. Usually cultivated in large fields, field peas thrive in various climates and help fix nitrogen in the soil, reducing the need for chemical fertilizers. They can be eaten fresh, dried, or processed into products like pea meal. Their adaptability and nutritional benefits make them an important crop in sustainable agriculture systems.
