Legumes is a family of plants including most beans, peanuts, and peas, but also clover, tamarinds, and many others. Legumes are distinguished by their fruit being a pod that opens up on one side and has all the seeds stacked next to each other. Green peas are a member of the legume family.

Green peas are often used as vegetables (that is to say as a side dish or in soups and salads), especially when cooked, canned, or frozen, but also fresh. Fresh peas may be eaten by themselves as a snack, in which case they may not be considered a vegetable.
