Abstract
Origin from Asia Minor and Central Asia, the pea (Pisum sativum L.) was cultivated in antiquity by Greek and Romans in the south of Europe, where afterwards was spread on the entire continent, and in our country was brought in the XVIIth century. The pea is cultivated on large surfaces for its seeds rich in protein (23-28%), carbon hydrates (46-50%), lecithin, vitamins (A, B1, B2, B3, B6 si C) and mineral salts of calcium, phosphor, potassium, zinc, magnesium, iron and manganese, etc. Pea consumption protects bone system, and vitamin K from this vegetable helps blood to clot, helps to establish the level of sugar in the blood, etc. These are used as food for human and as concentrate forage for animals.
