A HIGHLY NUTRITIOUS PRODUCT. Peas are one of the most nutritious plant foods, stimulating the secretion of digestive juices, and are rich in protein, carbohydrates and minerals. The high nutritional value of peas makes them an excellent food to enrich your daily diet. They are also rich in fibre, which is essential for digestion and for regulating and maintaining healthy bowel function.
SLOW CARBOHYDRATES. The carbohydrates in peas are slowly broken down, which makes pea-based dishes last longer and does not lead to large fluctuations in sugar levels.
RICH IN VITAMINS AND MINERALS. Peas contain vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B6, E, H and minerals such as phosphorus, iron, calcium, potassium, magnesium, sodium and copper.
SOURCE OF PROTEIN. Peas are an excellent source of protein. 100 g. uncooked peas contain over 23g of protein. These proteins are particularly useful and necessary for people who exercise or do not consume animal products.
VERSATILITY OF USE. Peas can be used in a very versatile way. You can use them to make nutritious soups, stews or curries. Peas can also be used to make humus.
Method of preparation: soak in cold water for 4-6 hours before boiling. Cook at a ratio of 1 part peas, 3 parts water. Cook for 35-50 min.
