The Pearl Soup Pea is a rare heirloom variety of Pisum sativum known for its use as a dried pulse in soups and stews. Like many soup peas, it is starchy rather than sweet when fresh, making it ideal for drying and long-term storage. These peas were commonly cultivated in regions with traditions of pulse-based dishes, such as Wales and parts of Europe, and have been associated with heritage cooking practices. Tall-growing varieties like this often require support structures for optimal yield.
These heirloom seeds are available directly from Garden Faerie Botanicals in the heart of British Columbia, Canada. The collection features heirloom and heritage seeds that are personally cultivated organically without the use of any chemicals. Emphasizing historical, rare, non-GMO seeds, this selection preserves biodiversity through open-pollination.
