Peas, dried, raw

Dried whole peas are the mature seeds of the pea plant with most of their water removed. The figures here describe them raw and dried, before soaking or cooking. They mainly provide carbohydrate and protein, with 52g of carbohydrate and 22g of protein per 100g. This amount also contains 2.4g of fat and 4.7mg of iron.

Carbohydrate provides energy, while protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues. Iron contributes to the formation of haemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. Dried peas absorb water during preparation, so the nutrient amounts per weight of cooked peas differ from these dried values. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
