Peas are one of the oldest vegetables on earth but it was not until the 17th century that the wealthy and fashionable in Britain adopted the continental idea of cooking fresh peas. Nowadays of course almost all of us prefer fresh peas. Peas are almost equal to meat in terms of protein and carbohydrate quantity. Peas are also rich in sugar, vitamins and mineral salts, especially phosphorus, calcium and iron. Telefone is a late tall growing variety which needs support. Pods can be 10 - 11cm long with large tasty seeds which can be used immediately or frozen and preserved. Telefone peas will keep fresh for around 3 days if stored in a plastic bag and kept in a refrigerator.
