The true petit pois, these have an outstanding flavor. However, you have to plant A LOT of them to get a reasonable yield. Don't think of these as a main crop pea. I consider them a treat and eat them raw as I work in the garden. I do get enough peas for many delightful suppers and would not be without them.
