Anyone have any experience with this pea/pea like legume?
I bought a pack of seed of this from Baker Creek this year, since it was listed as a grasspea, and I was short of those and wanted more of their blue flowers. However looking at the seed they really don't look much like grasspea seed the hila are too long (they look more like overgrown vetch seed). So I went online for more info, and found more or less nothing.Plenty of recipes for soup using them next to articles on why you shouldn't eat them. The commentary on baker creek is a generalist quote on grasspeas from a book (the poster said as much) where it is clear they have never actually grown them.
So does anyone out there have actual experience.
