Why Green Peas are good for you.

  • Green peas are a popular vegetable. They are also quite nutritious and contain a fair amount of fiber and antioxidants.
  • Additionally, research shows they may help protect against some chronic illnesses, such as heart disease and cancer.
  • On the other hand, some people claim green peas are harmful and should be avoided due to the antinutrients they contain, which can cause bloating.
  • This article takes a detailed look at green peas to determine if they’re healthy or you should limit them in your diet.
  • Green peas, or “garden peas,” are the small, spherical seeds that come from pods produced by the Pisum sativum plant.
  • They have been part of the human diet for hundreds of years and are consumed all over the world.
  • Strictly speaking, green peas are not vegetables. They are part of the legume family, which consists of plants that produce pods with seeds inside. Lentils, chickpeas, beans and peanuts are also legumes.
  • However, green peas are commonly cooked and sold as a vegetable and this article will refer to them as such. You can find them in frozen, fresh or canned varieties.
  • Since green peas are high in complex carbs called starches, they are considered a starchy vegetable along with potatoes, corn and squash.
