Data from the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs shows the average Brit consumed just 37g of peas per week last year, down from 144g eaten by people in 1975.

Chef and pea enthusiast Judy Lin says picking up a bag of frozen peas in the weekly shop is just as important as picking up a carton of milk. Photo credit: Getty Images
