Benefits of Eating Peas

Throughout history the pea has been a plant of significance. It is mentioned in the Bible, and dried peas have even been found in Egyptian tombs. In more recent times pea plant provided data for gregor Johann Mendel, the founder of modern genetic. Peas are classified as legumes, and as much, they form a complete protein when combined with grains. Fresh green peas are more convenient that dried legumes, because the do not require a long cooking time and can even be eaten raw. 
Besides being high in protein, fresh green peas are a good source of pectin and other soluble fibers, which help control blood cholesterol levels. The pods are high in insoluble fiber, which helps protein foods a half cup serving contains about 60 calories and 4g of protein. A half cup serving of cooked green peas also provides about 15 percent of the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) of vitamin C and 10 to 20 % of the RDAs of vitamin A, thiamine, and riboflavin as well as 1mg of iron and 215mg of potassium.
Benefits of Eating Peas
The younger green peas are the sweeter and tenderer they are in fact very young peas can be eaten in their pods. Once picked, peas should be eaten or refrigerated, because their sugar quickly converts to starch. After shelling, green peas can be eaten raw or cooked. To minimize the loss of vitamin, peas should be cooked in as little water as possible until just tender. Cooking some of the pods with the peas or with soup stock adds flavor and nutrition. discard them before serving.
Benefits of Eating Peas
Only 5% of the pease sold in markets are fresh, the rest are frozen or canned. Of the two frozen peas are a better choice than canned, which have fewer nutrients, added salt and sugar and less color and flavor than their fresh or frozen counterparts.
Snow, or sugar peas are often used in Chinese stir fried dishes and are available either fresh or frozen. They are always eaten in their flat pod, because they are harvested while still immature, consequently, they contain less protein than green peas do. However they are higher in vitamin C ( a half cup supplies about 40mg or 65 % of the RDA and have slightly more iron. Since they are eaten in their fibrous pods, a serving of snow peas is lower in calories (about 35% per cup).
Like other legumes, peas are high in purines, which can precipitate an attack of gout in people with this disease.
