57-450: The town is divided into two parts, separated by a forest: bas Clamart , the historical centre, and petit Clamart with urbanization developed in the 1960s replacing pea fields. The canton of Clamart includes only a part of the commune. The other part of the commune belongs to the canton of Le Plessis-Robinson . The city name is famous in French gastronomy . A speciality with peas as

114-444: A cultivar group based on the variety Pisum sativum var. macrocarpum Ser. named in 1825. It was described as having very compressed non-leathery edible pods in the original publication. The scientific name Pisum sativum var. saccharatum Ser. is often misused for snow peas. The variety under this name was described as having sub-leathery and compressed- terete pods and a French name of petit pois . The description

171-476: A barrage of submachine-gun fire. De Gaulle and his entourage, which included his wife, survived the attempt without any casualties or serious injuries while the attempt's perpetrators were subsequently all arrested and put on trial . The leader of the assassination attempt, Jean Bastien-Thiry, was executed by firing squad after his 1963 conviction, and was the last person to be executed by firing squad in France. On

228-669: A cool-season vegetable crop. The seeds may be planted as soon as the soil temperature reaches 10 °C (50 °F), with the plants growing best at temperatures of 13 to 18 °C (55 to 64 °F). They do not thrive in the summer heat of warmer temperate and lowland tropical climates , but do grow well in cooler, high-altitude, tropical areas. Many cultivars reach maturity about 60 days after planting. Peas have both low-growing and vining cultivars. The vining cultivars grow thin tendrils from leaves that coil around any available support and can climb to be 1 to 2 metres (3 to 7 ft) high. A traditional approach to supporting climbing peas

285-586: A few hours of harvest. In India , fresh peas are used in various dishes such as aloo matar (curried potatoes with peas) or mattar paneer ( paneer cheese with peas), though they can be substituted with frozen peas as well. Peas are also eaten raw, as they are sweet when fresh off the bush. Green peas known as hasiru batani in Kannada are used to make curry and gasi. Split peas are also used to make dal , particularly in Guyana , and Trinidad , where there

342-405: A former EDF research site, construction on a new urban development (zone d'aménagement concerté or ZAC), overlooking the man-made Panorama Lake (Lac du Panorama) and consisting of new homes, commercial and business space, two schools, and a nursery, began in summer 2018. The land had been purchased by the city in 2017, and the project was designed by A26. The first residents moved in in late 2019, and

399-540: A mild taste. Pease pudding is traditionally produced in England, especially in the industrial North Eastern areas including South Shields , and on down to Darlington on the North Yorkshire border. It is often served with ham or bacon , beetroot and stottie cakes . It is also a key ingredient in the classic saveloy dip. In Southern England, it is usually served with faggots . Also in southern England

456-532: A niece of Cardinal Mazarin . Little dishes of peas were then presented to the King, the Queen, Cardinal Mazarin and Monsieur, the king's brother. Immediately established and grown for earliness warmed with manure and protected under glass , they were still a luxurious delicacy in 1696, when Mme de Maintenon and Mme de Sevigné each reported that they were "a fashion, a fury". The world’s first sweet tasting pea

513-522: A number of pathogens , including insects, viruses, bacteria and fungi. In particular, virus disease of peas has worldwide economic importance. Additionally, insects such as the pea leaf weevil ( Sitona lineatus ) can damage peas and other pod fruits. The pea leaf weevil is native to Europe , but has spread to other places such as Alberta, Canada . They are about 3.5 millimetres (0.14 in)—5.5 millimetres (0.22 in) long and are distinguishable by three light-coloured stripes running length-wise down

570-460: A plural form, the modern singular pea and its plural peas derive from this, in a process known as back-formation . The dish is a traditional part of Jiggs dinner in Newfoundland, Canada. In German-speaking countries , pease pudding is known under the name Erbspüree or Erbsenpüree . Alternative regional names are Erbsbrei or Erbsmus . It is especially widespread in

627-597: A side-dish, is called " à la Clamart ". Close to Paris and its central marketplace ( Les Halles ), Clamart's peas were the first of the season. On 22 August 1962 the French President Charles de Gaulle was the target of an assassination attempt organised by the French Air Force Lieutenant-Colonel Jean Bastien-Thiry . As de Gaulle's black Citroën DS 19 sped through Petit-Clamart it was met by

684-407: A traditional dish. In North America, a similarly traditional dish is split pea soup . Pea soup is eaten in many other parts of the world, including northern Europe , parts of middle Europe , Russia , Iran , Iraq and India . In Chinese cuisine , the tender new growth [leaves and stem] dou miao ( 豆苗 ; dòu miáo ) are commonly used in stir-fries. Much like picking the leaves for tea,

741-411: Is blanching . The peas are boiled for a few minutes to remove any enzymes that may shorten their shelf life. They are then cooled and removed from the water. The final step is the actual freezing to produce the final product. This step may vary considerably; some companies freeze their peas by air blast freezing, where the vegetables are put through a tunnel at high speeds and frozen by cold air. Finally,

798-658: Is a significant population of Indians . Dried peas are often made into a soup or simply eaten on their own. In Japan , China , Taiwan and some Southeast Asian countries, including Thailand , the Philippines and Malaysia , peas are roasted and salted, and eaten as snacks . In the Philippines, peas, while still in their pods, are a common ingredient in viands and pansit . In the UK, dried yellow or green split peas are used to make pease pudding (or "pease porridge"),

855-608: Is inconsistent with the appearance of snow peas, and therefore botanists have replaced this name with Pisum sativum var. macrocarpum. The field pea is a type of pea sometimes called P. sativum subsp. arvense (L.) Asch. It is also known as dun (grey-brown) pea, Kapucijner pea, or Austrian winter pea, and is one of the oldest domesticated crops, cultivated for at least 7,000 years. Field peas are now grown in many countries for both human consumption and stockfeed. There are several cultivars and colors including blue, dun (brown), maple and white. This pea should not be confused with

912-466: Is relatively shallow and small, but well nodulated. The field pea is a cool-season legume crop that is grown on over 25 million acres worldwide. It has been an important grain legume crop for millennia, seeds showing domesticated characteristics dating from at least 7000 years ago have been found in archaeological sites around what is now Turkey . Field peas or "dry peas" are marketed as a dry, shelled product for either human or livestock food, unlike

969-703: Is restricted to the Mediterranean Basin and the Near East. The earliest archaeological finds of peas date from the late Neolithic era of current Syria, Anatolia, Israel, Iraq, Jordan and Greece. In Egypt, early finds date from c.  4800 –4400 BC in the Nile delta area, and from c. 3800–3600 BC in Upper Egypt. The pea was also present in Georgia in the 5th millennium BC. Farther east,

1026-476: Is said to have been a favourite of Empress Dowager Cixi . In Greek cuisine , a similar dish is called fava ( Φάβα ). Despite the name, it is usually made from yellow split peas, not broad beans . The mashed peas are usually drizzled with olive oil and topped with chopped raw onions. Generally, recipes for pease pudding involve steeping soaked split yellow peas in stock (traditionally ham hock stock) and cooking them for around 40 minutes. The resulting mush

1083-485: Is the small village of Pease Pottage which, according to tradition, gets its name from serving pease pottage to convicts either on their way from London to the South Coast, or from East Grinstead to Horsham . Peasemeal brose , also known as brosemeal, is a traditional breakfast dish in the north of Scotland. It is made in the traditional way and usually eaten with butter, and either salt or honey. In parts of

1140-423: Is then blended with other ingredients, which depend on the variation. The oldest known written recipe for something similar to pease pudding involves saffron , nutmeg and a little cinnamon in the blending process; modern recipes sometimes beat in an egg at this point to act as an extra binding agent. Pease pudding is featured in a nursery rhyme , " Pease Porridge Hot ". The song " Food, Glorious Food " from

1197-451: Is then converted to another form, ammonium ( NH + 4 ), usable by (some) plants by the following reaction: The root nodules of peas and other legumes are sources of nitrogen that they can use to make amino acids , constituents of proteins. Hence, legumes are good sources of plant protein . When a pea plant dies in the field, for example following the harvest , all of its remaining nitrogen, incorporated into amino acids inside

1254-485: Is then sliced, and served with the soup. Traditional Russian cuisine has several pea-based dishes, including pease pudding/puree/soups known as gorohovaya kasha ( Russian : гороховая каша ) or goroshnitsa ( Russian : горошница ). In Beijing cuisine , wandouhuang ( 豌豆黄 ) is a sweetened and chilled pease pudding made with yellow split peas or shelled mung beans, sometimes flavoured with sweet osmanthus blossoms and dates . A refined version of this snack

1311-418: Is to thrust branches pruned from trees or other woody plants upright into the soil, providing a lattice for the peas to climb. Branches used in this fashion are called pea sticks or sometimes pea brush . Metal fences, twine , or netting supported by a frame are used for the same purpose. In dense plantings, peas give each other some measure of mutual support. Pea plants can self-pollinate . The wild pea

1368-572: The Middle Ages , field peas are constantly mentioned, as they were the staple that kept famine at bay, as Charles the Good , count of Flanders , noted explicitly in 1124. Green "garden" peas, eaten immature and fresh, were an innovative luxury of Early Modern Europe . In England, the distinction between field peas and garden peas dates from the early 17th century: John Gerard and John Parkinson both mention garden peas. Sugar peas , which

1425-503: The Neolithic dawn of agriculture improved their yield. In the early 3rd century BC, Theophrastus mentions peas among the legumes that are sown late in the winter because of their tenderness. In the first century AD, Columella mentions them in De re rustica , when Roman legionaries still gathered wild peas from the sandy soils of Numidia and Judea to supplement their rations. In

1482-547: The cowpea ( Vigna unguiculata ) which is sometimes called the "field pea" in warmer climates. It is a climbing annual legume with weak, viny, and relatively succulent stems. Vines often are 4 to 5 feet (120 to 150 cm) long, but when grown alone, field pea's weak stems prevent it from growing more than 1.5 to 2 feet (45 to 60 cm) tall. Leaves have two leaflets and a tendril. Flowers are white, pink, or purple. Pods carry seeds that are large (4,000 seeds/lb), nearly spherical, and white, gray, green, or brown. The root system

1539-570: The haut de Clamart : the Lycée Jacques Monod Clamart is twinned with: Pea Pea ( pisum in Latin) is a pulse , vegetable or fodder crop, but the word often refers to the seed or sometimes the pod of this flowering plant species. Carl Linnaeus gave the species the scientific name Pisum sativum in 1753 (meaning cultivated pea). Some sources now treat it as Lathyrus oleraceus ; however

1596-410: The north-east of England , it is consumed to a lesser extent in the rest of Britain. In Newfoundland , it retains its traditional name as part of the customary Jiggs dinner . In non-English speaking countries, similar dishes exist under different names. Pease pudding is typically thick, somewhat similar in texture to (but perhaps a little more solid than) hummus , and is light yellow in colour, with

1653-413: The thorax . The weevil larvae feed on the root nodules of pea plants, which are essential to the plants' supply of nitrogen , and thus diminish leaf and stem growth. Adult weevils feed on the leaves and create a notched, "c-shaped" appearance on the outside of the leaves. The pea moth can be a serious pest producing caterpillars the resemble small white maggots in the pea-pods. The caterpillars eat

1710-892: The English during this time, which became known as "garden" or "English" peas. The popularity of green peas spread to North America . Thomas Jefferson grew more than 30 cultivars of peas on his estate. With the invention of canning, peas were one of the first vegetables to be canned. Fresh peas are often eaten boiled and flavored with butter and/or spearmint as a side dish vegetable. Salt and pepper are also commonly added to peas when served. Fresh peas are also used in pot pies , salads and casseroles . Pod peas ( snow peas and snap peas ) are used in stir-fried dishes, particularly those in American Chinese cuisine . Pea pods do not keep well once picked, and if not used quickly, are best preserved by drying, canning or freezing within

1767-597: The French called mange-tout , because they were eaten pods and all, were introduced to France from the market gardens of Holland in the time of Henri IV , through the French ambassador. Green peas were introduced from Genoa to the court of Louis XIV of France in January 1660, with some staged fanfare. A hamper of them was presented before the King. They were shelled by the Savoyan comte de Soissons , who had married

1824-585: The Mediterranean coastal regions. In this condition, the toxic reaction to eating most, if not all, beans is hemolytic anemia , and in severe cases, the released circulating free hemoglobin causes acute kidney injury . Peas, like many legumes, contain symbiotic bacteria called Rhizobia within root nodules of their root systems . These bacteria have the special ability to fix nitrogen from atmospheric, molecular nitrogen ( N 2 ) into ammonia ( NH 3 ). The chemical reaction is: Ammonia

1881-487: The Midlands, it replaces mushy peas as a traditional accompaniment to fish and chips, although the distinction is largely the name and tendency for mushy peas to be green. In both cases, the starchy "field peas" used are harvested dry, as opposed to "sweet peas", which are the same species harvested fresh. In Middle English , pease was a mass noun used in the same way as flour or oatmeal . Later taken to be

1938-650: The United States. In modern times peas are usually boiled or steamed , which breaks down the cell walls and makes them taste sweeter and the nutrients more bioavailable . Along with broad beans and lentils , these formed an important part of the diet of most people in the Middle East, North Africa and Europe during the Middle Ages . By the 17th and 18th centuries, it had become popular to eat peas "green", that is, while they are immature and right after they are picked. New cultivars of peas were developed by

1995-428: The appearance of the offspring, and the non-dominant, or recessive , trait appeared only when it was inherited from both parents. He did further experiments that showed each trait is separately inherited. Unwittingly, Mendel had solved a major problem with Charles Darwin 's theory of evolution : how new traits were preserved and not blended back into the population, a question Darwin himself did not answer. Mendel's work

2052-436: The developing peas making them unsightly and unsuitable for culinary use. Prior to the use of modern insecticides, pea moth caterpillars were a very common sight in pea pods. Pease porridge Pease pudding , also known as pease porridge , is a savoury pudding dish made of boiled legumes , typically split yellow peas , with water, salt and spices, and often cooked with a bacon or ham joint. A common dish in

2109-462: The dominant trait. Then he allowed the F 1 generation to self pollinate and observed their offspring, the Filial-2 (abbreviated F 2 ) generation. The F 2 plants had the dominant trait in approximately a 3:1 ratio. He studied later generations of self pollinated plants, and performed crosses to determine the nature of the pollen and egg cells. Mendel reasoned that each parent had a 'vote' in

2166-503: The farmers pick the tips off of the pea plant. In Greece , Tunisia , Turkey , Cyprus , and other parts of the Mediterranean, peas are made into a stew with lamb and potatoes. In Hungary and Serbia , pea soup is often served with dumplings and spiced with hot paprika . In the United Kingdom , dried, rehydrated and mashed marrowfat peas , or cooked green split peas, known as mushy peas , are popular, originally in

2223-691: The finds are younger. Peas were present in Afghanistan c. 2000 BC, in Harappan civilization around modern-day Pakistan and western- and northwestern India in 2250–1750 BC. In the second half of the 2nd millennium BC, this legume crop appears in the Ganges Basin and southern India. In early times, peas were grown mostly for their dry seeds. From plants growing wild in the Mediterranean Basin, constant selection since

2280-472: The garden pea, which is marketed as a fresh or canned vegetable. The major producing countries of field peas are Russia and China , followed by Canada , Europe , Australia and the United States . Europe, Australia, Canada and the United States raise over 4.5 million acres (18,000 km²) and are major exporters of peas. In 2002, there were approximately 300,000 acres (1,200 km²) of field peas grown in

2337-400: The more tender the peas are, the more likely that they will be used in the final product. The peas must be put through the process of freezing shortly after being picked so that they do not spoil too soon. Once the peas have been selected, they are placed in ice water and allowed to cool. After, they are sprayed with water to remove any residual dirt or dust that may remain on them. The next step

2394-465: The need and justification for the change is disputed. Each pod contains several seeds (peas), which can have green or yellow cotyledons when mature. Botanically, pea pods are fruit , since they contain seeds and develop from the ovary of a (pea) flower. The name is also used to describe other edible seeds from the Fabaceae such as the pigeon pea ( Cajanus cajan ), the cowpea ( Vigna unguiculata ),

2451-437: The north of England, but now ubiquitously, and especially as an accompaniment to fish and chips or meat pies , particularly in fish and chip shops . Sodium bicarbonate is sometimes added to soften the peas. In 2005, a poll of 2,000 people revealed the pea to be Britain's seventh favourite culinary vegetable. Processed peas are mature peas which have been dried, soaked and then heat treated (processed) to prevent spoilage—in

2508-439: The peas are packaged and shipped out for retail sale. In the mid-19th century, Austrian monk Gregor Mendel 's observations of pea pods led to the principles of Mendelian genetics , the foundation of modern genetics . He ended up growing and examining about 28,000 pea plants in the course of his experiments. Mendel chose peas for his experiments because he could grow them easily, pure-bred strains were readily available, and

2565-485: The remaining plant parts, is released back into the soil . In the soil, the amino acids are converted to nitrate ( NO − 3 ), that is available to other plants, thereby serving as fertilizer for future crops. Pea grading involves sorting peas by size, in which the smallest peas are graded as the highest quality for their tenderness. Brines may be used, in which peas are floated, from which their density can be determined. A variety of diseases affect peas through

2622-570: The same manner as pasteurizing . Cooked peas are sometimes sold dried and coated with wasabi , salt , or other spices. In North America pea milk is produced and sold as an alternative to cow milk for a variety of reasons. In East Asia, pea sprouts or shoots ( 豆苗 ; 완두순 ) were once dedicated cuisine when the plant was less highly available. Today, when the plant can be easily grown, fresh pea shoots are available in supermarkets or may be grown at home. In order to freeze and preserve peas, they must first be grown, picked, and shelled. Usually,

2679-514: The schools were two thirds full by 2021 when the second phase of construction was underway. Clamart is served by Clamart station on the Transilien Paris – Montparnasse suburban rail line. There are also several bus lines connecting Clamart to neighbouring towns. Clamart has multiple primary schools, and attendance is determined by one's residence. Middle schools: High school: Clamart has one single high school, located near

2736-420: The seeds from several species of Lathyrus and is used as a compound form for example Sturt's desert pea . Peas are annual plants , with a life cycle of one year. They are a cool-season crop grown in many parts of the world; planting can take place from winter to early summer depending on location. The average pea weighs between 0.1 and 0.36 grams (0.004–0.013 oz). The immature peas (and in snow peas

2793-977: The singular form by dropping the -s , giving the term pea . This process is known as back-formation . Raw green peas are 79% water, 14% carbohydrates , 5% protein , and contain negligible fat (table). In a reference amount of 100 grams ( 3 + 1 ⁄ 2 ounces), raw green peas supply 339 kilojoules (81 kilocalories) of food energy , and are a rich source (20% or more of the Daily Value , DV) of vitamin C (48% DV), vitamin K , thiamine , and manganese , with several B vitamins and dietary minerals in moderate amounts (11–16% DV) (table). The pea karyotype consists of seven chromosomes , five of which are acrocentric and two submetacentric . Despite its scientific popularity, its relatively large genome size (4.45 Gb ) made it challenging to sequence compared to other legumes such as Medicago truncatula and soybeans . The International Pea Genome Sequencing Consortium

2850-407: The structure of the flowers protect them from cross-pollination, and cross pollination was easy. Mendel cross-bred tall and dwarf pea plants, green and yellow peas , purple and white flowers, wrinkled and smooth peas, and a few other traits. He then observed the resulting offspring. In each of these cases, one trait is dominant and all the offspring, or Filial-1 (abbreviated F 1 ) generation, showed

2907-564: The tender pod as well) are used as a vegetable, fresh, frozen or canned; varieties of the species typically called field peas are grown to produce dry peas like the split pea shelled from a matured pod. These are the basis of pease porridge and pea soup , staples of medieval cuisine ; in Europe, consuming fresh immature green peas was an innovation of early modern cuisine . A pea is a most commonly green, occasionally golden yellow, or infrequently purple pod-shaped vegetable , widely grown as

2964-511: The top 10. The term pea originates from the Latin word pisum , which is the latinisation of the Greek πίσον ( pison ), neuter variant form of πίσος ( pisos ) 'pea'. It was adopted into English as the noun pease (plural peasen ), as in pease pudding . However, by analogy with other plurals ending in -s , speakers began construing pease as a plural and constructing

3021-594: The traditional cuisine of the German capital Berlin . The best-known German dish which is traditionally served with pease pudding is Eisbein . A similar dish with ham hock , karka , is served in Lithuania. In the Netherlands, pea soup is called snert , or erwtensoep . It is cooked with dried split peas (yellow, or green), with chopped onions and bay leaf, and a smoked pork sausage, often Polish, which

3078-600: The vines support is recommended, but not required. Extra dwarf are suitable for container growing, reaching only about 25 cm. Tall varieties grow to about 2m with support required. Some peas lack the tough membrane inside the pod wall and have tender edible pods. There are two main types: The name sugar pea can include both types or be synonymous with either snow peas or snap peas in different dictionaries. Likewise mangetout ( / ˈ m ɒ̃ ʒ ˌ t uː / ; from French : pois mange-tout , 'eat-all pea'). Snow peas and snap peas both belong to Macrocarpon Group,

3135-485: Was developed in the 18th century by amateur plant breeder Thomas Edward Knight of Downton, near Salisbury, England. Modern split peas , with their indigestible skins rubbed off, are a development of the later 19th century. The top producer of green peas – by far – is China with 12.2 million tons, followed by India (4.8 million tons), USA (0.31 million tons), France (0.23 million tons) and Egypt (0.15 million tons). United Kingdom, Pakistan, Algeria, Peru and Turkey complete

3192-700: Was formed to develop the first pea reference genome , and the draft assembly was officially announced in September 2019. It covers 88% of the genome (3.92Gb) and predicted 44,791 gene-coding sequences. The pea used for the assembly was the inbred French cultivar "Caméor". There are many varieties (cultivars) of garden peas. Some of the most common varieties are listed here. PMR indicates some degree of powdery mildew resistance; afila types, also called semi-leafless, have clusters of tendrils instead of leaves. Unless otherwise noted these are so called dwarf varieties which grow to an average height of about 1m. Giving
