The Tutankhamun pea, often dubbed King Tut's pea, has an enchanting and mythical history, claimed to originate from the tomb of the Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun. Though some argue it might stem from early 20th-century English gardens, legend suggests that these peas were once planted for King Tut's afterlife, and remained sealed in his tomb until its discovery in 1922 by Howard Carter.
