Peapods, a staple in many East Asian and Mediterranean cuisines, are the edible outer shells of peas, typically harvested young while still tender and sweet. They are rich in vitamins C and K, as well as fiber and antioxidants, making them a nutritious addition to meals. Low in calories and fat-free, peapods support digestive health and aid in maintaining a balanced diet. Their natural sweetness pairs well with stir-fries, salads, and soups, adding both flavor and a subtle crunch. Peapods are also a good source of plant-based protein and essential minerals like potassium and iron. However, people sensitive to legumes should consume them in moderation. Avoid heavily processed or salted versions to maximize their health benefits.
