Wealmoor Peas

 

Established by Rati and Vilas Dhanani in 1973, our summer season sugar snap peas come to us from family-owned Wealmoor in England. You’ll find 3-8 delicious peas in each fresh green pod!

Their mission is:

To sustainably grow and source, market and deliver high value fresh produce, whilst making a positive impact on communities and local environments.

Ensuring customers receive the very best of sustainable and fresh produce, their impressive history in horticulture is always developing.

The sugar snap pea is a cultivar group of edible-podded peas, differing from the snow pea in that their pods are rounded as opposed to flat and thicker. The pod is less fibrous, edible when young, do not have a membrane, and do not open when ripe. At maturity, the pods grow to around 4–8cm in length.

How To Grow Peas:

Grow your own peas at home by following these simple steps:

  1. Choose a sunny and sheltered spot, then dig in plenty of compost

  2. Create a shallow trench, and sow your seeds 5cm apart in a row. Cover with soil and water well.

  3. When the seedlings are roughly 5cm tall, insert thin twigs or netting for the pea shoots to wrap around.

  4. Your peas should be ready to harvest after about 3 months.
