Peas, sugar-snap, boiled in unsalted water

Sugar-snap peas are a vegetable eaten as whole pods, including the peas inside. The figures here describe pods boiled in unsalted water. They provide carbohydrate and some protein, alongside vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, they contain 4.7g of carbohydrate, 3.1g of protein, 18mg of vitamin C and 0.01g of salt.

Vitamin C supports normal immune function and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues. The salt content shown is low and reflects preparation without added salt; adding salt, sauces or other seasonings can change this. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
