Green Peas

Green peas, also known as garden peas or English peas, are a type of legume that is often consumed as a vegetable. They have a sweet, delicate flavor and a soft, tender texture. Green peas are available fresh, frozen, or canned and can be found in most supermarkets. They are often used in soups, stews, casseroles, and other dishes, and can also be eaten on their own as a snack or side dish.

Green peas are a good source of several essential nutrients, including dietary fiber, protein, vitamin C, vitamin A, and several minerals, including iron and potassium. They also contain antioxidants and plant compounds that may have health benefits. Some research suggests that green peas may help reduce inflammation, lower blood pressure, and improve blood sugar control. They may also have a protective effect against certain types of cancer. However, more research is needed to confirm these potential benefits.
