Peas, sugar-snap, raw

Sugar-snap peas are a vegetable eaten as whole edible pods containing immature peas. The figures here describe raw pods with the ends trimmed. They provide carbohydrate, some protein and vitamin C. Per 100g, they contain 5g of carbohydrate, 3.4g of protein, 32mg of vitamin C and 0.2g of fat.

Vitamin C supports normal immune function and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. It is also needed to make collagen, which supports skin, blood vessels and other tissues. Raw sugar-snap peas contain little salt, which may be relevant to people monitoring their salt intake. Full nutrient figures are shown in the tables below.
