Peas:
Peas were one of the earliest food crops. Cultivation brought stability to once-nomadic tribes, and made it possible for peas to be brought by travellers and explorers into the countries of the Mediterranean as well as to the Far East.
9750 BC Evidence of wild pea consumption by humans, discovered by archaeologists exploring the "Spirit Cave" on the border between Burma and Thailand.
Potato
The tough pre-Columbian farmers first discovered and cultivated the potato some 7,000 years ago. They were impressed by its ruggedness, storage quality and its nutritional value.

I would say potatoes, they do come from the ground, and here is a little note: has you wife every tried making peas & potatoes as a combined dish, it is very good on a cold winter day, boil the potatoes, put some oil in a pan with some sauce, mix them both in there add flavor and it is a easy and good dish.

I'd say potatoes. It's a root vegetable.
