A pea seed, from the Pisum sativum plant, is a small, round to oval-shaped seed from a cool-season legume crop that can be sown in soil for harvesting fresh or dried peas. They are a good source of protein, carbohydrates, and fiber, and require well-drained soil in a sunny location to grow into either bushy or climbing plants with tendrils. Soaking the seeds overnight before planting can improve germination.
