The variety belongs to the semi-leafless plant type, where leaflets are transformed into tendrils, providing good resistance to lodging. The plant is short, bush-type, with light lilac or pink-colored flowers.
Large seeds have a wrinkled surface and a gray-greenish hue, from which the variety derives its name. When cooked, the peas retain their shape, which determines their culinary use in soups and various appetizers.
The variety is intended for early spring sowing. Historically, it was an important food product, and it is currently cultivated as a local variety for farms and home gardening.
