Pea leaves, the tender shoots of pea plants, are a versatile and nutritious green widely enjoyed in Asian cuisine, particularly Chinese, Thai, and Vietnamese dishes. Rich in vitamins A, C, and K, pea leaves support immune health, skin integrity, and bone strength. They are also a good source of fiber, aiding digestion, and contain antioxidants that help combat inflammation. Low in calories, these leaves are a great addition to a balanced diet. Their sweet, earthy flavor and delicate texture make them ideal for salads, stir-fries, soups, and steamed dishes. While generally a healthy choice, individuals with oxalate sensitivity should consume them in moderation, as pea leaves contain natural oxalates. Whether wilted with garlic or added fresh to recipes, pea leaves offer a nutrient-dense way to elevate meals with flavor and health benefits.
