Ervilhas Verdes, or green peas, are small, vibrant legumes widely used in cuisines across the globe, from European stews to Indian curries. Originating in the Mediterranean region, they have been cultivated for thousands of years. Nutritionally, ervilhas verdes are a powerhouse, rich in plant-based protein, fiber, and essential vitamins such as Vitamin K, Vitamin C, and several B vitamins. They also contain important minerals like manganese, phosphorus, and folate. Their high fiber content supports digestion, while their antioxidants may promote overall health. However, they are relatively high in natural sugars compared to some other green vegetables, making portion control advisable for individuals monitoring their sugar intake. Low in calories and fat, green peas are a versatile and healthy addition to any diet, whether enjoyed fresh, frozen, or canned.
