Expert Response
What you are seeing is called neoplastic growth.
These growths are often associated with the absence of UV light (common in greenhouses) or in response to the presence of pea weevils.
They are not harmful to humans or the pea plant. Go ahead and enjoy your peas.
Be on the lookout for adult weevils and hand-pick any found on young plants. Older plants are seldom seriously damaged.
Happy gardening!
