About Shelling peas

Shelling peas, also known as garden peas, are a popular legume native to the Mediterranean and West Asian regions, now widely grown across the globe. Unlike sugar snap or snow peas, shelling peas are harvested for the sweet, tender seeds inside the pod, which is typically discarded. Rich in dietary fiber, protein, and essential vitamins like A, C, and K, these peas are a nutritious addition to various dishes and cuisines, especially in European and Asian food traditions. They also contain vital minerals like iron and magnesium, supporting bone health and energy production. Low in fat and calories, shelling peas are ideal for weight management and overall heart health. However, as they are a starchy vegetable, consuming them in moderation is key for individuals watching their carbohydrate intake. Delicious when steamed, pureed, or added to soups, shelling peas brighten both flavor and nutrition in any meal.
