Green Peas

Green peas, a popular and appetizing ingredient in items ranging from salads to main dishes, are bursting with essential vitamins and nutrients. 

They contain many vitamins of the B group, essential for the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and fats. Green peas are also rich in vitamin A, C and K. They are an excellent source of iron and have considerable amounts of calcium, magnesium, manganese, zinc, copper, and potassium. 

They contain as much protein and energy as meat, meaning they are high in both. Green peas are low in fat and offer one of the best sources of soluble fiber.
