Green Peas

Green peas, also known as garden peas or English peas, are small, round, vibrant green legumes that are commonly consumed as a vegetable. They are widely enjoyed both fresh and in their matured form as dried peas or canned peas. Green peas are rich in nutrients and offer several health benefits. They are a good source of dietary fiber, vitamins (such as vitamin C, vitamin K, and several B vitamins), and minerals (including potassium, manganese, and phosphorus). They also contain antioxidants and phytonutrients that contribute to their nutritional value.

These peas have a sweet and slightly starchy flavor. Fresh green peas can be eaten raw, added to salads, or cooked and used in a variety of dishes. They are often blanched, steamed, boiled, or stir-fried. Green peas are commonly featured in soups, stews, casseroles, and as a side dish. They can also be pureed to make sauces, spreads, or dips.
