Garden peas, also known as green peas, are small, spherical seeds from the Pisum sativum plant. Native to the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern regions, they have become a staple in cuisines worldwide, particularly in European, Asian, and American dishes. Garden peas are low in fat and an excellent source of vitamins A, C, and K, along with vital minerals such as iron and manganese. Rich in dietary fiber, they promote digestive health and help regulate blood sugar levels. These legumes also provide a good amount of plant-based protein, making them ideal for vegetarian diets. Although garden peas are naturally sweet, they are lower in calories than many starchy vegetables, making them a healthy choice. However, canned peas may contain added sodium, so fresh or frozen options are often preferable. Versatile and nutritious, garden peas bring vibrant color and flavor to salads, soups, and stir-fries.
