Lathyrus aphaca, known as the yellow pea or yellow vetchling, is an annual species in the family Fabaceae with yellow flowers and solitary, pea-like fruits. It originated in the Middle East and has spread throughout Europe and beyond as a weed of cultivated fields and roadsides.
The starch extracted from the root with traditional methods can last for a very long time, and thus can be stored or traded. [6] The starch can be cooked in leaves to make starchy puddings, similar to the use of starch extracted from sago palms (Metroxylon sagu). [8] Due to the introduction of modern crops, it is rarely cultivated today. [6]
It is usually made from mung bean starch, but may also be made from pea or potato starch. [9] [10] In western China, the jelly-like seeds of Plantago major were formerly also used. [1] The starch is boiled with water and the resulting sheets are then cut into thick strips. [11] Liangfen is generally served cold.

In general, a tuber is high in starch, e.g. the potato, which is a modified stolon. The term "tuber" is often used imprecisely and is sometimes applied to plants with rhizomes. The plant uses the rhizome to store starches, proteins, and other nutrients.
Lathyrus pratensis or meadow vetchling, [1] yellow pea, [2] meadow pea [3] and meadow pea-vine, is a perennial legume that grows to 1.2 m in height. The hermaphrodite flowers are pollinated by bees. As a perennial, this plant reproduces itself over many years, spreading out from the point it was introduced, especially in damp grassy areas. This ...
