AlanouHi, everyone, what's the difference between pea and bean ? Thanks !Peas are "Pisum sativum". They climb by using tendrils, produce pods with small round green seeds. Thre are varieties which can be eaten in the pod (sugar snap peas). They are generally eaten when green, but can be dried and used as split peas.
