Pea Green Feast Shelling
Shelling Peas
Long pods with up to 12 seeds per pod
Vigorous grower, high yield
Sweet and tender seeds
Peas Green Feast is a popular and reliable variety suited for both fresh markets and the processing industry. The plant grows as a medium-height bush, reaching approximately 50 cm. Its pods are slightly curved, dark green, and about 10–12 cm long. While primarily a shelling pea, Green Feast can also be consumed as a full-pod edible product if harvested early before the pods become stringy and fibrous. Staking or trellising is recommended to prevent lodging, which can reduce yields. This variety responds well to organic manure, such as compost or well-decomposed cattle, chicken, or pig manure.
