Matar, commonly known as green peas, are vibrant legumes that originate from Central Asia and the Middle East but are now globally cultivated and featured in diverse cuisines. They are a staple in Indian dishes like matar paneer and also used in soups, salads, and stir-fries worldwide. Packed with essential nutrients, matar is a great source of plant-based protein, fiber, and antioxidants like vitamin C and flavonoids. They also contain folate, iron, and B vitamins, making them beneficial for energy production and overall health. Their fiber content supports digestion and helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels. Matar is low in calories and fat, but high in starch, so portion control is recommended, especially for those managing carbohydrate intake. Whether fresh, frozen, or dried, green peas are a versatile and nutritious addition to a balanced diet.
