Another good use of peas - at the Asian section of the Farmer's Market, they often sell, in the spring, section of pea vines, bound together in a bunch. You chop them into small segments and briefly stir fry them as a green, and their light sweet pea flavor is delicious! I have no idea if it is young pea plants only that are used, but it is worth planting a big bed just to get a taste of sauteed pea vines. I also have no idea if there is any variety specificity with regards to edibility.
