Produce OASIS Tip of the Day

May 29 - The History of the Pea:

The pea is believed to date back 5,000 years. First grown primarily for the dry seeds, fresh peas were considered a rare delicacy until the 18th Century. They originated in the Middle East, and owe their present name to the Latin, "pisum."
