About Sweet peas

Sweet peas, often referred to as green peas, are small, vibrant legumes native to the Mediterranean region. They have been a staple in various cuisines, including European, Asian, and Indian dishes, prized for their natural sweetness and versatility. Packed with nutrients, sweet peas are an excellent source of plant-based protein, fiber, and essential vitamins such as A, C, and K. They also contain important minerals like potassium and iron, contributing to heart health and strong immunity. Their high fiber content supports digestion, and antioxidants like carotenoids promote eye health. Sweet peas are low in calories and fat, making them a smart addition to a balanced diet. However, they should be consumed in moderation by individuals sensitive to lectins, a compound found in legumes. Whether sautéed, steamed, or tossed into salads, sweet peas offer both nutritional benefits and culinary flexibility for meals around the world.
