Mean peak (cP *), trough (cP), break (cP), final (FV, cP), and setback viscosities (cP), seed weight (SW, g), hydration capacity (HC, %), unhydrated seeds (US, %), and cooking time (CT, min) traits determined for 105 pea accessions within the classes distinguished by seed shape, colour, and surface ^†.
