Boiled pea sprouts are tender, nutrient-rich shoots harvested from young pea plants, commonly used in East Asian cuisine. With their delicate, slightly sweet flavor, they are a popular addition to soups, stir-fries, or enjoyed as a simple side dish. Boiling enhances their natural softness without compromising their vibrant color or nutritional value. Pea sprouts are rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as folate, iron, and dietary fiber, supporting healthy immunity, digestion, and bone health. They are low in calories and fat, making them a light yet satisfying choice for balanced meals. Additionally, their antioxidant content may help combat oxidative stress in the body. However, like most vegetables, pea sprouts lose some water-soluble nutrients, such as vitamin C, during boiling. To retain maximum nutritional benefits, consider minimal cooking times or alternative preparation methods. Boiled pea sprouts are both a flavorful and health-conscious addition to any diet.
