pea

A pea is a small, round seed pod that's usually green or sometimes purple. It's like a tiny little package of flavor and nutrition.

When we talk about peas, most people think of them as a type of vegetable - you know, the ones you eat steamed or in stir-fries? But did you know that pea can also refer to a large company called Pea Soup, which is famous for its... well, pea soup! It's not just about eating the little green things anymore. The word pea has also been used as a slang term to mean a person who is short or small in stature - like a little pea of a man! But that one's more informal and not super common.
