About White peas

White peas, also known as safed matar, are small, dried legumes commonly used in Indian, Mediterranean, and African cuisine. These versatile seeds originate from field peas and are known for their earthy flavor and ability to absorb seasonings. Packed with nutrients, white peas are an excellent source of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and essential vitamins such as B-complex vitamins and minerals like iron, potassium, and magnesium. Their high fiber content supports digestive health and can promote a feeling of fullness, making them a great choice for weight management. White peas are naturally low in fat and cholesterol, making them heart-healthy. However, they should be consumed in moderation as they can be high in carbohydrates, especially when included in large quantities. Often used in curries, soups, salads, or stews, white peas are a nutritious addition to a balanced diet, offering flavors and health benefits alike.
