✦ Plant protein
✦ Fibre-rich
✦ Vitamin C
✦ Folate source
Garden peas are sweet immature seeds high in plant protein, fibre, vitamin C, vitamin K, folate, and several B vitamins. Their sugars start converting to starch shortly after picking, which is why frozen peas often taste sweeter than fresh.

Preparation note
Cook briefly from fresh or frozen; long boiling reduces vitamin C and the bright colour.
