✦ Plant protein ✦ Fibre-rich ✦ Vitamin C ✦ Folate source

Garden peas are sweet immature seeds high in plant protein, fibre, vitamin C, vitamin K, folate, and several B vitamins. Their sugars start converting to starch shortly after picking, which is why frozen peas often taste sweeter than fresh.

Preparation note

Microwaving with a splash of water cooks frozen peas quickly with low vitamin C loss.
