Delve into the history of genetics with this ancestral and ornamental pea variety!

This superb variety could well be one of those used by the father of genetics, Gregor Mendel, in his groundbreaking experiments on heredity. Imagine growing a plant that may have contributed to one of the greatest scientific discoveries! This variety is distinguished by its flat, pale lemon-yellow pods, measuring 7-8 cm long and 2-3 cm wide. The young, raw pods are a true delight, offering a crisp texture and a sweet flavor. The wrinkled, reddish-brown seeds can be dried and added to your soups for a nutritious and flavorful touch. Originating from India, this rare and ancient variety is also highly ornamental thanks to its pretty, delicately violet-tinted flowers. Its 2-meter-long vines require sturdy support to thrive.
