Mississippi Purplehull Pea pods are initially bright green, then mature to a reddish purple color. Each pod will contain up to 14 peas per pod. Peas are bright green when fresh and mature to a dark brown color if allowed to dry. Once mature and purple, pods are very easy to shell. Mississippi Purplehull is a great variety for fresh-eating and preserving for later. Simply blanch, dry and vacuum-seal to have delicious field peas throughout the year.

The Best just got BETTER! Improved MS Pinkeye Purple Hull with better cold tolerance, stronger emergence and better seedling survival. Excellent producer! Young pods change from green to purple as they mature and dark purple when they dry. Superior yields. Bush type: Indeterminate.
