Peas are one of the most nutrient-dense plant products, stimulating the secretion of digestive juices, and are rich in proteins, carbohydrates and minerals. Thanks to their high nutritional value, peas are an excellent product to enrich your daily diet. They are also rich in fibre, which is essential for regulating and maintaining digestion and healthy bowel function.
Slow carbohydrates: the carbohydrates in peas break down slowly, which is why pea-based foods provide a feeling of fullness for a long time and do not cause large fluctuations in sugar levels.
Rich in vitamins and minerals: peas contain vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B6, E, H and minerals such as phosphorus, iron, calcium, potassium, magnesium, sodium and copper.
Source of protein: Peas are an excellent source of protein. 100 gr. uncooked peas contains more than 23 g of protein. These proteins are particularly useful and necessary for people who exercise or do not consume animal products.
Versatility of use: peas can be used in many different ways. They can be used to make nutritious soups, added to stews or used to make curries. Peas can also be used to make hummus.
Preparation: soak in cold water for 4-6 hours before baking. Boil in the ratio: 1 part peas, 3 parts water. Cook for 35-50 minutes.
