Shelled peas, often referred to as garden peas or green peas, are small, round legumes encased in green pods. Native to Mediterranean regions and widely cultivated worldwide, they're a staple in many cuisines, including European, Indian, and Asian dishes. Rich in essential nutrients, shelled peas are an excellent source of dietary fiber, vitamins A, C, and K, and minerals like iron and potassium. They also contain plant-based protein, making them a great addition to vegetarian or vegan diets. Peas are low in fat and calories, promoting heart health and weight management, while their generous fiber content aids digestion and supports blood sugar regulation. However, they do contain natural sugars, so moderation is advised for those monitoring carbohydrate intake. Shelled peas bring a subtly sweet and earthy flavor to soups, salads, stir-fries, and purees, adding both nutrition and vibrant color to meals.
