About Peas and carrots

Peas and carrots are a classic vegetable pairing known for their vibrant color and nutritional benefits. Originating in kitchens worldwide, this combination is often found in American, European, and Asian cuisines as a side dish or ingredient in soups and stir-fries. Peas are an excellent source of plant-based protein, fiber, vitamins A, C, and K, along with essential minerals like iron and potassium. Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, a powerful antioxidant that the body converts to vitamin A, supporting eye health and immune function. Together, they offer a low-calorie, nutrient-dense option ideal for balanced meals. Typically prepared steamed, boiled, or sautéed, they retain their health benefits best when cooked lightly to preserve their vitamins. While naturally low in fat and sodium, added butter or sugar in recipes can increase calories and reduce their nutritional value. Peas and carrots remain a wholesome, versatile choice for any diet.
