Pea is actually a relatively large species, and we usually say that pea is actually one of them, called sweet pea. It is often mainly to eat beans, but rarely to eat pods. In addition, the pea head of pea is the tender seedling on the plant, which is used as a vegetable. There is also a lentil pod, beans smaller, not full enough, so often part of the pod.
And the Holland bean is also a variety of pea in this large class, it can be said that it belongs to the class of lentils.
The pods of Holland beans are soft and crispy, so they taste fresh and crispy. But the pea's pod epidermis contains a lot of cellulose, which is difficult to chew and swallow. Therefore, the pea's pod is generally not eaten. Even though the pods of Holland beans are still flat and wide when they are mature, the seeds in them are small and only occupy a small space of pods. When the pea is mature, the pea grain is large and almost covers the whole pod, so it is cylindrical. It is also because of its plump beans, which are often used to produce peas.
