Due to the nitrogen excretion on the roots of the peas, planting in mixed culture promotes surrounding plants. With sugar peas, the young pods are harvested before the seeds have ripened. This variety requires a framework to guide the pea shoots upwards. In order to quickly obtain a fine, crumbly and permeable soil with good nutrient and water storage capacity, additional incorporation of biochar and primary rock flour is recommended.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003cu\u003eType of propagation\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePropagation occurs via seeds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; background-color: #e4cc99;\"\u003ePlant care\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOccasional weeding helps the young plants develop.

In some regions, they were considered particularly wholesome and used for simple home remedies such as warming soups or strengthening pastes served during exhaustion or in winter.

They are also suitable for creamy spreads, protein‑rich soups, Middle Eastern rice dishes, crispy oven roasts, and as a base for plant‑based burger patties. The flour of the dark seeds is traditionally used for flatbreads, pancakes, and pastries, giving dishes a warm colour and a fine roasted flavour.
