Peas are green within the pod.  The pods make a crackin' coloured wine.   8)   Cheers,    Tony.

I thought they were mangetout.  Other types the purple pods turn green when you cook them.

I think it must be going in the new catalogue. I've looked through peas & beans & it isn't there yet.

Hmm never made pea pod wine, are they ok at the same time the peas are ready? or do you pick them when younger? I always think of James Herriot when pea pod wine is mentioned :D
