When Are Peas in Season? A Full Breakdown of Nutrition and Dietary Taboos
Pea: an annual climbing herb, 0.5-2 m tall. Flowering period June-July, fruiting period July-September; it is a nutritious food. So when is it generally in season? What nutrition does it have? What can't it be eaten with? According to pea grower Old Li, spring-sown peas begin harvesting in early April and are pulled from the vines in early June, with a yield of 400 kg per mu; autumn-sown peas are harvested from early October to mid-November, with a yield of 300 kg per mu. Peas prefer a cool, moist climate; they are cold-tolerant but not heat-tolerant, and seedlings can withstand low temperatures of 5°C. The suitable temperature during the growing period is 12-16°C, and during the pod-setting period 15-20°C; above 25°C the fertilization rate is low, few pods form, and yields are low. Peas are long-day plants. Most varieties have a shorter growing period in the north than in the south. Southern varieties moved north flower and set pods earlier; this is because spring sowing in the north shortens the seedling stage that would otherwise be spent overwintering in the south. Thus in the north, the growing period of peas is 65-75 days for early-maturing varieties, 75-100 days for mid-maturing varieties, and 100-185 days for late-maturing varieties. <p style="text-align:center"></p> <p style="text-indent:2em;"><span style="color:#FF0000">What nutrition do peas have?</span></p> <p style="text-indent:2em;">They tonify the middle qi, stop diarrhea and dysentery, regulate the nutritive and defensive qi, promote urination, reduce abscesses and swelling, and neutralize the toxicity of milkstone.
