Halfway between vegetables and legumes, peas contain a high concentration of vitamins, enzymes, and antioxidants.
ORGANIC FOOD. Non-GMO. Not irradiated. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
PROPERTIES: Organic peas are an excellent source of plant protein. If we combine them with a cereal (oats, spelt, etc.), we have a complete and high-quality plant protein, which is especially beneficial for people following a vegan or vegetarian diet. The fat content is practically zero. They are a good source of minerals such as potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, calcium, sodium, iron, zinc, and selenium. They also contain vitamins such as vitamin C, niacin or B3, folate or B9, thiamine or B1, pyridoxine or B6, and vitamin A. They also provide fiber, which is not a nutrient but is essential for many functions in our body to maintain good health. Despite their sweetness, they are very suitable for diabetics due to their richness in pectin, a soluble fiber that slows down digestion and promotes gradual absorption of glucose, benefiting the pancreas and insulin production.
PREPARATION: A balanced serving size ranges from 120 to 150 grams of organic peas. To fully benefit from their nutritional properties, these tips can be followed: It is recommended to cook them without exceeding the cooking time. Pairing them with dressings or foods rich in vitamin C, such as tomatoes or peppers, helps the body better absorb iron. To aid digestion, it is practical to eat them slowly or season them with digestive spices. To increase their protein value, it is advisable to mix them with cereals such as rice, pasta, couscous, etc.
