Peas, boiled in unsalted water

These are whole peas without their pods, boiled in unsalted water. They provide carbohydrate, fibre and protein, along with a range of vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, they contain 10g of carbohydrate, 5.6g of fibre, 6.7g of protein and 16mg of vitamin C. The figures refer to the cooked peas rather than raw peas.

Fibre helps support normal bowel function, while protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues. Vitamin C supports normal immune function and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Peas prepared this way contain only trace amounts of salt; adding salt during cooking or serving will change this. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
