Explanation:
This is a widespread crop in Germany, and not always understood elsewhere. It all depends what your seed company is selling. If only vegetable seeds, then the other answers are right, if bulk agricultural seed, then this is the right one.

In response to Hilary, maybe fodder seed peas is the correct terms, but it is very hard to know from the context.
