Lathyrus sativus, also known as grass pea, cicerchia, blue sweet pea, chickling pea, chickling vetch, Indian pea, [2] white pea [3] and white vetch, [4] is a legume (family Fabaceae) commonly grown for human consumption and livestock feed in Asia and East Africa. [5]

Lathyrus sativus, commonly referred to as grass pea, is a hardy legume with significant nutritional and stress-adaptive traits. Grass peas are well suited to a range of climate and soil types and can thrive in both dry and waterlogged conditions.

Grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.) is a Neolithic plant that has survived millennia of cultivation and has spread over three continents. It is a robust legume crop that is considered one of the most resilient to climate changes and to be survival food during drought-triggered famines.

Grass pea is an N-fixing legume that is often used to provide N to the main economic crop (Campbell, 1997). Grass pea has positive effects on soil structure as its deep taproot prevents soil compaction. When ploughed in, grass pea is a good green manure that returns nutrients to the soil and provides organic matter (Lazanyi, 2000).
