I was given some peas(crowder, white or cream?) a few years back, the old man called them "White Crowders". I foolishly cooked and froze all of them, and then he passed away before I could get more info from him. I fell in love with them and would like to plant some of my own, but am struggling to correctly identify. They are a light, creamy green when cooked, mostly round & the size of a green pea, like Alaska, and have a sweet, mild flavor when cooked. The broth thickens on them like white northerns. Can anyone help me identify?
White pea, size the English pea Alaska, possibly White Acre. I am not aware of a White Crowder. Crowders are cowpeas which are crowded in the hull, resulting in flat ends on the seeds. Zipper is a cream pea that is greenish when cooked as a green shellie so it also a good possibilty.
