It's none of those. It's a small pea, about the size of a lentil. In fact,
it looks more like a round lentil than anything else

I suppose it's either grown in Andalusia or the Canary Islands

	Here you confused me. I thought vetch was alfalfa. For me,
algarroba is carob --which is what you use to make "fake chocolate"
