You may have spent your childhood pushing peas around your plate, wishing they were something more delicious -- well, now they ARE something more delicious!
Your mother wasn't lying to you when she said peas are good for you. Green peas are an excellent source of B vitamins, including niacin and folate which can help you break down the food you eat and convert it into usable energy. Peas also contain vitamins C and K, manganese, zinc, protein, magnesium, iron, potassium, and fiber!
