Petits pois like little green jewels

Petits pois in the fieldHi, this is Colin. Well, you can see from the photographs that I’m in North Lincolnshire. I’m working with North Lynn Viners, one of the cooperative groups that supply the Hull factory.

The interesting thing here is that the crop is petit pois. The market in the UK is segregated between garden peas and petits pois (petit pois is a specific vareity). They’re very similar to garden peas but smaller (obviously, hence the ‘petit’ in pois)

Petits poisLike little green jewels they are today, absolutely superb! No doubt I’ll be tasting some of those on the panel in the morning and I’ll be able to tell you a little bit more about them…

Catch you all then:-)
