Young peas, also known as garden peas or sweet peas, are small, vibrant green legumes harvested early for their tender texture and naturally sweet taste. Believed to have originated in the Mediterranean and Central Asia, they are now a staple in cuisines worldwide, from hearty European stews to fresh Asian stir-fries. Packed with nutrients, young peas are an excellent source of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and vitamins like C and K, supporting immune health and bone strength. They also contain antioxidants and phytonutrients, which may promote heart health and reduce inflammation. Low in calories and with a moderate glycemic index, they fit well into balanced diets. However, those watching their carbohydrate intake should enjoy them in moderation. Fresh or frozen, young peas add a burst of flavor and color to any meal, making them a nutritious and versatile ingredient.
